OK, so quick catch up since June 2011....
- Jeff spent much of the last 6 months of our term doing drought relief and food distribution in northern Kenya. The drought has opened up doors to people groups that have been really resistant to the Gospel. That's what God does, tho-- turns bad situations to His Glory!
- Julie spent most of the last 6 months at work, catching up Sudan's books after their reconciliations were cleaned up by a super-cleaner from SIM.
- We got to attend a real Kenyan wedding and a real Kenyan funeral. Both were awesome experiences in which we saw God celebrated Kenyan-style.
- We took a short vacation in London on our way back to the USA and arrived here right before Christmas.
- After a short time with Gammy and Papo, we got down to settling down..as much as we could with a partially furnished home. Our awesome sisters at church and their equally awesome husbands moved our stuff out of storage and into our home. Renters had moved out in November so it we were able to come right back where we left!
- February took us to Texas where we visited with friends and family.
- The first part of March our home church had their missions emphasis during which we did a workshop on Praying for the Front Lines and got an opportunity to share during service time.
- The end of March took us to North Carolina via Kansas and Indiana for our home assignment retreat and debrief. Early April took us back to Colorado through Tennessee, Missouri and back to Kansas. We loved seeing family and catching up with friends also home from the field. We equally enjoyed meeting new friends along the route.
