Our teammate Tibarek challenged us in our prayer livess during our conference |
Many of you know that we are finishing up this three year term on the field. We fly back to the States on the 26th of this month and will be living stateside for the rest of the year (through December). March was very full and April will be even crazier.
At the end of March Eli, Carson and I traveled to Kenya so Eli could take some important exams for his PhD and for a Spiritual Life Conference. The conference was a much needed time of rest and encouragement from the Lord and our teammates.

Then on March 26 Isaac, Evan and Joshua finished their term at school and we were reunited as a family. We are so thankful to have this month together. Carson has really missed his brothers!

Carson couldn't be happier to have his brothers home |
We have enjoyed some special family times while we're in the capital city. In addition we are getting dentil visits and medical check ups out of the way.
This coming week, after celebrating Easter with teammates here in the city, we will head home to Adjumani to wrap up things there. Please pray for us as we have a lot to manage (packing, handing over ministry to our Sudanese colleagues and saying goodbyes/"see you laters") while also enjoying quality time as a family.
For those of you who are interested in where we'll be and when in the States, this is all we know for now:
April 26-mid June: we'll be in Michigan awaiting the birth of a baby boy we hope to adopt.
Mid June: we hope to move back to our home in Columbia, SC and settle for the summer.
Once we're stateside we will figure out if we can travel around the country and try to set up times to meet with each of you!
