Back to Niger!

Life is running along at a frantic pace this week! We are in the midst of final packing and preparing to return to Niger in three days. In spite of the busyness of the week, we are thoroughly looking forward to getting home to Niger. We have loved our time here, especially seeing and connecting with so many of you! But it's time to get back. What a blessing it is to feel that way about the place God has called us to! Life may not always be easy there, but knowing it's where we are supposed to be gives us contentment despite the heat, dust and even the cockroaches.

If you don't hear from us for awhile, assume we are just too hot to write. =) That or perhaps we don't have internet hooked up yet.

Please pray for us as we make our final preparations, the journey back, and through the whole settling in process. We'll be living in a new house, and we're thrilled about that. But it will mean a lot more work getting settled in, especially for Kevin. One big thing we are looking forward to is continuing relationships we built in our last term. We are headed back armed with materials of several types in a few local languages that we hope to use to share the Gospel with some of our dear friends. Looking at their pictures this week had me in tears, thinking of the fact that they don't yet know the Lord. Pray with us and for us as we jump back into our African life.

Hopefully next time you hear from us, it will be from the other side of the ocean!
