Leaving our little South African family was easier this time, knowing we’ll see at least Sam, Anna, Elaina, and Sawyer, and our stateside loved ones soon – in July when we head off for vacation in the U.S.
We managed to squeeze in lots of “lasts”. Last day at the beach, last meal at a favorite restaurant, last games, last BBQ, last taste of one of Roy’s weird fruits, etc. All these last times are super memories and we call ourselves blessed.
We rest assured that our kids and dear friends are in the Lord’s hands, and we’re thrilled to have been able to live and work and play alongside them. We’re excited about Anna’s nearing completion on her master’s degree and Sam’s ongoing ministry at Titus garage, enabling young men in technical skills and spiritual growth. Sawyer and Elaina are doing well in school with plenty of friends. We leave our farm family in a place of joy and peace, though not without its challenges!
