Got a call from Africa

Since we've been staying at my parents house we rarely ever answer their landline.  For several reasons... 1.) they have a landline 2.) its usually telemarketers 3.) its never for us because people don't really know we're living here and they just call our cell phones.  However, today the phone rang in the middle of the afternoon so I decided to answer it.  GOOD THING i did!  It was my Dad!  He said that they were doing great and that things were awesome.  He even said that Mom was doing exceptionally well despite the 100+ degree weather they were having.  He said by Tuesday they should be working on the island, so that would bring cooler temperatures.

It was really good to hear them and know that things were going well.  It's been odd being on this end of the missions trip... staying home, wondering how everything is going and not having much communication.  I bet for them (which was always the case for me) that they are having such a great time, they are growing and learning and time is flying!  I am very excited for them and cannot wait to hear their stories and see how their lives have changed.

Keep on praying for them that everything continues to go well.  It sounded like everybody's luggage got there and there hasn't been any illness!  Praise God!  They come home this Saturday already!  Yay!
