This story begins with a request from a missionary couple (coming home for approximately 6 months for the birth of their first grandchild) to help them find and furnish an apartment in Chapel Hill!
This was a new experience for MRC but we were willing to try and the Lord provided in wonderful ways!!!

Linn helped find an affordable apartment real close to their daughter and son-in-law.
Then the two month search was on for furniture, bedding, kitchen items, lamps, rugs, etc.. Hello North Raleigh Thrift Shoppe (they were a tremendous help!), Goodwill, yard sales, donations.
Thank you to all who gave or loaned items!

Dear John and Linn,
We cannot thank you enough for your wise and sacrificial labor of love on behalf of our grandparent-nest. We really did feel like we received instant home comfort in a box, and on our first night were able to go to sleep in our own bed, in a basically furnished apartment, thanks to your excellent advance work. As you may imagine, we have lived in a wide range of habitats in three decades of cross-cultural wanderings, mostly in Asia and the former Soviet Union, so we were delighted to find the furnishings you had hunted up for us were tasteful and in good condition. Without question, you have been a great blessing to us. Thank you so much for all you have done for us.
Yours in Christ,
K and G
