It is now Friday, March 21 and we are trying to settle back into life as we know it in the states. For Doc and I, that means landing in Philadelphia and driving with Brieanna and Jon to spend the afternoon with Galen's family as well as Derek's. We left early the next morning for Mansfield, where we landed for only 2 days and then headed off to Tye in Pittsburgh overnight and finally ended up in Columbus with Jillane and Chip and boys for 2 days. Jillane has been helping me with our power point presentation to share our trip in Ethiopia. We return to Mansfield on Sat and hope to stay grounded there for at least 10 days. Our f'irst presentation will be on Sunday, March 30 at Church of the New Covenant in Mansfield at their 10 am service. All are welcome to come and hear of God's miraculous workings in Ethiopia.
We both have such mixed feelings about being back here, when our thoughts are so predominantly in Ethiopia with all of the wonderful people we met and came to love. Doc is feeling better physically, so that tends to flavor his feelings. As a mother/nanny, I feel the pull between my own children/grandchildren and those precious children we interacted with the 3 weeks we were there.
We do believe that God has more work for us to do in Ethiopia and that we will be back there again. We are praying for His guidance and direction so that we can make every moment count for Him.
Thank you for your support and prayer.
