Time is running out for our stay in the USA, only 24 days, 11 and 1/2 hours before we leave Texas for our journey back to Africa. We have only been Stateside for about 4 months. What can you do in 4 months? Plenty! But it is not enough time to be with your family that you only get to see for short periods. So much is happening in our children's lives currently. Our last-born graduates from university and begins the process of entering the employment contest. Our number two child is moving into her own apartment for the first time. It seems she has had to live the life a vagabond for a very long time, but not anymore. Our first-born is making preparations to spend her summer in a northern state pursuing her Master's degree. So much going on and we will not get to be part of their lives for at least another year.
The first year we spend in Malawi promises to be a busy one! Already several teams are lined up to come and help do ministry and plant churches. We should hit the ground running and not have time to look back. It is exciting to watch how God is moving. Time may be running out here, but it will certainly bring us once again to the country we love. Someone once told us that when you drink the water in Africa you will always thirst until you are able to drink it again. We are thirsty!

Hi Fredna and Gaylord,
24 days, huh! That'll be here before you know it. I'm already thinking that we only 1 and a half months til we leave. This year we'll have TV ad a satellite dish, which the Youngs paid half for with us paying the other half.
I know you'll miss your kids. That's the tough part.
