Visitors!

Tricia's best friend Amber and her husband Luke flew in from Kansas City to visit us for the last two weeks, so we ended up being too busy showing them all around South Africa to post to the blog last week. We had a wonderful time in Johannesberg, Pilanesberg, and Cape Town while they were here. So now that they flew out this evening, we find ourselves left with the memories of their visit (cue sappy music)...

Jake's Quote of the Week

"Dear Jesus, thank you for our bread, our vegetables and our chicken, and I don’t have any ketchup. Amen."

(Such a subtle little boy...)

Praises and Prayer Requests

Well, we really want to praise God for the time that we had with Amber and Luke, and especially the time that Amber and Tricia got to spend together. This past year has been the longest that Tricia and Amber have been apart in the last 20 years, so it has been hard on both of them. We are very thankful that they were able to make the 9,000 mile trip to see us.

Please remember the following needs in prayer this week:

-- Amber & Luke's travel back to the U.S.
-- The floods currently affecting Mozambique
-- General Board meetings in Kansas City
-- Unspoken request

Until next time,

Jeremy, Tricia & Jake
