Returning Home

It has been a time of mixed emotions. Returning home to the states for the funeral of my brother, Charles, was filled with many joys and times of sadness. We rejoice that he no longer suffers the limitations of this physical body but rather he is enjoying his heavenly body. I been thinking a lot about heaven and what the Bible has to say about our final resting place.

Now, I'm returning to our home in Nairobi, Kenya (East Africa). Claudia has been in Johannesburg, South Africa, for medical during this time. I leave today and arrive tomorrow evening. Claudia leaves Friday (we hope) and arrives home Friday evening. It been two weeks away from each other and we are ready to be home and together.

I have enjoyed our grandchildren for a few days. I got to see my granddaughter for the first time. She is Beautiful!

Please continue to pray for my brother's family – Deanie, Tonya and Larry, and Michelle. Please continue to pray for Equatorial Africa. We have 7 countries with no missionary personnel. Pray that the Lord of the harvest will call out men and women to fields in Equatorial Africa.

And lastly, thank you for all your prayers and support.
