A Holly Birthday and the Zoo!

What a beautiful day the Lord has made! We celebrated our Holly's birthday with a trip to the zoo. Our PBJ's were so good in Forest Park! The sun was shining, and we were happy! Tomorrow is our last day in this awesome country for a while. We are leaving on a jet plane on Thursday! We love you all and will miss everyone. Toodles! (kim)

Our Last Days...

It is hard to believe that we will be leaving in just 3 days for Africa. Our last few days in Virginia were amazing, and the commissioning service was wonderful. It was hard to say good-bye to so many going out all over the world to share. We are so thankful for the time we have had with our friends while we have been back in St. Louis. Christmas was very special this year with our families from Arkansas and Tennessee traveling to see us.

We are also very excited to meet our new family in Africa...It will take us 48 hours to get to Botswana. We will have an eleven layover in London where we will spend Luke's birthday...site-seeing. A few days after we arrive in Bots...we will get to go on a prayer retreat for our region in South Africa. I hope to be able to update our blog as often as possible.

Last Days in VA

It is hard to believe that our days in VA are about to end. We are excited about our work, and the time we have spent here has been precious. This is our last full week. Next week we have our commissioning service and fly home on the 18th. We have plans to visit with our families from Arkansas and Tennessee and see as many of our friends as possible. I have to work on getting our tax stuff ready...packing our suitcases and lockers with summer things...which seems kind of weird! Thank you for praying for us. Many of you all have sent us packages, letters and emails, which really brightened our day. We love everyone! Check out this Christmas tree! (Kim)
