Getting Closer


I know, this update is long overdue.  It is getting harder to blog the closer we get to leaving.  June 16th is the official date for those who haven't heard.  Just to catch you up on what we've been doing, here are a few pictures (y'all know I'm crazy about capturing every precious last moment on camera):


Beth, Elizabeth, Levi, and I battled the wind at "Spring Daze" (or May Days) selling jewelry to benefit missions.  Despite the ferocious wind,  we actually did have a lot of fun!
Dinner at Dr. Ben, Hyrine, and Benji Omungu's home.  Hyrine added her Kenyan touch for a delicious meal and wonderful fellowship last night.  What a blessing this family has been to us!  We can't wait to discover how we can help in their visions for Kenya.  We hope to serve along side them in July!

We took our last trip to the coast (with my family in tow) to see Chris' family and speak at Salem Baptist.  It was so fun having both families together and in full support. 
A proud Aunt and Uncle right here.  (I'm always trying to think of ways to sneak pics of our niece and nephew on the ministry blog.)  


   Dad and Levi catching some Z's before Dinner.


We will do our best to keep you updated between trying to spend time with family and friends, pack up, sell, and move. 
I will try to post after this Thursday's trip to Charlotte to hear David Johnson (Voices of Sudan) speak more about genocide.

So cute...Little Levi and the fam!

You are so right...I probably am a little sick. In fact, when I read your little comment, I laughed...on the inside..not so much out loud :-)

I had an idea...we could run in my neighborhood...do a 5K Grimes Park Fun Run in honor of your trip...I can just give my $20 to ya'll for Africa :-) Or I can see if I can make it work for Saturday morning but its looking rather doubtful
