Aw, snap! \u00a0I didn’t get a photo of Paul & Sheryl Noren while they were with us, but we sure enjoyed their visit. \u00a0They were with us for a week, taking care of going through their belongings left here last March when we left in such a hurry together. \u00a0Their truck is now finally in Yaounde where it hopefully will be repaired. \u00a0Of course, with our 36 year friendship, you can imagine the stories and the laughing and the sharing of hopes and concerns. \u00a0They are continuing on in their work in DRCongo. \u00a0May the Lord give them strength and wisdom and love to face each new challenge there.<\/p>\n

Here’s an older photo of them – they really haven’t changed that much! Smile!<\/p>\n
