Signing off from South Africa

We were able to spend our morning here packing up and saying our good-byes to all our new friends. It was so good to be able to greet everyone one last time. It was also sad to know we won't wake up in South Africa tomorrow and won't be able to share life together with all these wonderful people (children, houseparents and staff). We will miss them all very much.

We will be headed to the airport in just an hour and a half. Please pray for safety as we travel and that we make our connection tomorrow morning in Atlanta as there is not much time between flights. Also be in prayer over the next couple of days as our bodies try and adjust back to EST as Kate starts school on Monday. We will be sure to let you know when we arrive back in Michigan. Look for pictures and maybe even some videos in the next week. We can't wait to share with you in even more detail all the GREAT things God has done in us and through us during our stay at Bethesda.
