What can we say?\u00a0 We so enjoy Jan & Kim Cone!\u00a0 They are our colleagues in Fulani ministry, the parents of one of our daughters-in-law and therefore co-grandparents of 3 of our grandchildren, the ones we can talk to about anything, basically our dear friends in all that\u2019s important in our hearts and lives.\u00a0 Jan & Kim head for the states for a year\u2019s home assignment at the end of May, and we will sorely miss them.\u00a0 Who will Aleta walk with and solve the world\u2019s problems with?\u00a0 Who will join Roy in playing basketball or help him think through a missional issue?\u00a0\u00a0 Many\u2019s the time when Kim has fixed something for us or Jan has treated us to her incredible cooking.\u00a0 We\u2019ll miss them as we visit with our Fulani friends, we\u2019ll miss them just as we go about our everyday world of work and play.\u00a0\u00a0 Blessings and hugs to the sky to dear friends!<\/p>\n
