It’s always good to hear our kids say “home sweet home’ as we bounce along the dirt airstrip in Tonj with our team waiting anxiously under terminal “tree” to greet us. We are blessed with children that don’t get tired of the heat, dust and poverty surrounding them. Thank you Jesus for these three special blessings in our lives, Hannah, Agum and Jedidiah.

It was a crazy week for us with the embassy appointment requirements as well as packing to go back to Tonj. We were blessed to get a flight share that could carry our family and our new pastor Kibe. It has been a long time since we flew out of Wilson airport and avoided immigration in Juba, so it was a very nice treat for us. They welcomed us at Rumbek airport and cleared our family as Southern Sudanese returning home!! And 30 minutes later we were landing in Tonj and it felt so good to be home. Little notes were waiting on our doors that just made it so much more special.

And even though February is typically the hottest month we are now enjoying cool breezes. Pray for us as we prepare for 6 weeks of visitors from Diguna mission, Every Village, World Gospel Mission, Simply the Story and the Bridge International.
