The Final Countdown

In 6 days we'll get on a plane with Eli's parents and fly to Lokichoggio, Kenya, right on the border of Sudan and Kenya. We'll do some last shopping, spend the night, then fly into Yabus first thing Monday morning. We are so excited we can hardly contain it!
I (Bethany) have started packing. This time we're taking 3 - 100 litre barrels packed with food and supplies (we'll use the barrels to collect rain water), a trunk of baby stuff, and 2 duffels of clothes. It will be interesting getting our things from the airstrip to the compound in Yabus. It's a 3 mile walk or more in sticky mud. Monday will be a big adventure for us! Please pray that we will be able to "go with the flow" no matter what happens.

We're praying for you, especially as you travel with an addition to the family and try to settle back in. You're such a blessing to so many, and I'm thankful for your service. Blessing upon you all.

Why does sickness like to hang around so long???

Only a few days after returning from our trip to Kenya, Judah started spiking high fevers. We took him to our clinic here in town for blood ...
