Heading Home

We just arrived home after a happy/sad day. I hugged many and waved goodbye as a large truck of men left without me. John and I and a few others took his van back to town. We saw the truck along the way as men were dropped home and taken to the bus depot. Many of them have long journeys ahead of them and when they arrive home will be facing food shortages and crop failures. Some took food so their families could eat.

The most common comment was; please return. It would be wonderful but right now I cannot see the Lord opening that door for some time. It is not evil to hope so I hope and they earnestly pray.

I made several friends; Paul, Mawa John & Dominic - all are precious and passionate about serving the Lord. Perhaps in God's amazing plans I will see them again; until then we must serve apart.

We are hoping the carpenter will arrive so we can work on the shelving unit that I would like to begin. John believes the man is coming today. We will see.

I am attaching two pictures of closing day - they will be eternal memories!
