Bless his heart, Sam continued to use Saturday free time to complete finishing touches on our house right before they left for the states. The house is fine to live in, as is, but there are still plenty of things to take care of, still, when we return at the end of the year.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
\nSam, Anna, Elaina, and Sawyer left for a 6 month time in the U.S. We\u2019ll meet up with them in California and visit family and friends there for a couple of weeks before we head for Indiana and they head for Iowa.\u00a0 We’ll head back to Africa on August 30th, and make a decision then if we can go back to Gamboula or head for South Africa again.\u00a0 Please pray for CAR, for peace and forgiveness to rule.\u00a0 Thank you for praying for all our travels as well.<\/p>\n
