This morning, I finally announced our Africa trip on Facebook.....our move feels official now. I'm thinking this may be an indicator that Facebook has a little too much influence in my life? I don't know. Just a guess.....
Tim is at a missions conference in Kentucky since yesterday. He's learning lots and I'm holding down the fort at home. I'm missing him like crazy!
Linda, Yuko and I will be on your prayer team for sure, and I just sent a message to a former FamilyLife executive (former head of the FL international department, who I used to assist in writing his international newsletter). Howard and Eileen Ostendorff are now with another ministry organization, but they spent many years in Africa (Kenya, I believe), where they established a seminary. Howard would likely have some very good advice and resources for you guys, especially in regard to the challenges of being in the missionary field with your family (and especially the stresses on your marriage and family dynamics). I asked him if he could contact you in the near future, and hopefully he will. Just be on the lookout for communication from this fellow. The Ostendorffs are truly amazing and awesome people. Hopefully you can know them personally someday. We're praying for you guys!
