This past weekend, Taigen was able to load up some of his books from his office and take them down to Heritage in Dover. We had asked if it was possible for us to put them in his new office, but we were told that they really wanted to scour it before we got in there. Instead, we were going to be able to put them in an empty classroom. This didn't matter to us in the least. Either way, it was clearing out Taigen's office for the new assistant pastor, Rob McIlwaine. He is arriving this week! 
When we got down to Dover, the couple that was meeting us there to unlock the church had two pitchers of ice water and cups waiting for us. They had been there (on a hot and muggy day, mind you) for who knows how long, cleaning Taigen's office, vacuuming, dusting and waxing his bookshelves so that not only could he bring in his boxes, but also unload them onto the shelves. Mrs. Tock begged Taigen to sit down in his chair and enjoy the office.
I was able to get a few pictures of the church so that you could get a better idea of what it looks like. It is so beautiful. They are looking forward to us getting down there.
When we were done unloading (about a third of Taigen's books), we went to this couple's summer place right by the ocean in York, ME. We grilled out, enjoyed the view and the company. The kids had a great time too and didn't want to leave.

That is a beautiful church. I know you are excited to begin your service for the Lord there! Perhaps we'll stop in for a service if we ever get back to Maine someday!
We'd love to have you come for a visit. Dover, NH is a beautiful city as well as the surrounding areas.
Our move is bittersweet. We are leaving a loving and supportive congregation back in Maine with tons of friends. They have been like family for us for seven years! :(
