Home...

Juliannia on her bike at last!

We are home now. I sit and await a call to the parish. Yesterday we traveled from Nairobi, to London, to Dallas/Ft. Worth and at last Portland. 23 hours in the air and 14 hours in layovers. Thanks be to God for our safe landing. We will be residing in Portland, Oregon until I receive a call to the parish. Thanks to all who have supported us these last two years!

Saying Good-Bye

These last few weeks have been a time to say goodbye to those going home. We have a few more weeks before we go. Jacob and Hannah (next to Stefanie in the back row) went home to Finland two weeks ago. They have been serving here in Kenya since February facilitating a water project at ABC and at the Mission Station. Tim and Megan Dooms (to my right) go home tomorrow. They came in August and have been working with Diakonia Compassionate Ministry and have been sent by LCMS International Mission. Ingrid (in front of me) has just begun her three years and is from Finland. Rut (holding Matthias) has been here for 20 years and comes from Finland. Kerstin (behind Gabriella) is from Sweden and has served for about 10 years and spends part time in Atemo and part time near Kericho.
