Last Day. More Good byes.

Last day of June and last full day for us at home before this year's trip to the USA.

This morning we hugged Chris and Kathleen good bye. This one harder than yesterday's to the Haiti 13 team as while we expect to worship with the team on Sunday in Michigan we do not know when once again we will be able to sit and chat with the 'Big Kids' in person. A great visit and many more memories added to our collection.

The rest of the day: LAUNDRY!! The last load again drying in the house but now the machine can enjoy a well earned break. Before the team it started to make strange squeaky noises that caused me to picture having to hand wash for 19 people!! Thank you Lord.

Packing. Getting the clean linens and towels for the House of Hope back in their place. Cleaning. This filled most of our day.

Heard that Todd's family returned home today..and one other family due in tonight. Chris and Kathleen's flight left shortly after noon. Lord willing we leave home around 5 am and should be on our first flight at 9 am. We have layovers in Ft. Lauderdale and Atlanta. If all goes according to Plan A by 11 pm we will be on the ground in Grand Rapids heading to Kris's folks.

Twice this afternoon we stopped to receive two different groups who came to send us off with singing, verses and prayers. I feel very privileged to live and work here with great people. As we discussed this morning there will be no more sad good byes in heaven. I'm looking forward to feeling 100% at home and no longer being feeling torn between locations and people.

Thanks for the prayers.
