Jason and Jonie Mellinger Connecting You to Tribal Missions 
It was a sad day moving our things out of our apartment. We had been looking forward to moving, but only because it meant moving to another town to begin our aviation ministry there, not because we had to go back to Arizona. The guards and janitors of our condo complex were very sad to see us go and many of them stayed after their 12 hour shift to help us carry our boxes and stuff down to the moving truck. We sold some of our things, but mostly we stored them at a friends house, including the dog. She hates Arizona and was much happier with the huge yard of grass and swimming pool at our friends’house that are watching her.
Saying goodbye to all of our friends there wasn’t easy, we had grown close to many over the last year. One of the cultural things they do with good friends, is giving a remembrance. Jewelry, clothes, shoes, anything that is special to the owner makes for a good remembrance. I gave necklaces, sneakers, sunglasses, my swiss knife, t-shirts, shorts and flip flops, as well as my Xbox. And we received many remembrances, as well. They told us, “So you don’t forget us, wear/use this!” We will miss them and look forward to seeing them again.
