We left home at 3:30 and now we are in Seattle. Going into hour 4 of a maybe 74-75 hour journey (provided all goes well!) back to Emi-woro. Devin’s parents took us to the airport and loaded the boys up with cookie dough ice cream. Mike and Melody Babst came to send us off in prayer. MAN! Do we ever thank God for this wonderful time of rest and relaxation, fellowship and solitude. It was such a privilege to be a part of all that is going on at our church, see friends and family, shop at Costco, and to reconnect with many hearts. We ate more delicious food with friends and family than we can fit into our jeans, but that’s OK!! We took off and looked at each other and said “Off to Africa. And it’s not even weird. That’s kind of strange!” A few minutes later Ben had a few tears – missing everyone already – but we are so happy to be headed back to our new Nigerian friends and responsibilities.
Keep praying!!
Holding you in our arms of prayer! Love you all and praying God's abundant blessings and mercies poured out on you and that you see His hand in all that you do.
