One Flight Leads to Another...

If there is one part of this "Dust On My Shoes" process that I really don't care for, it's the travel times involved...

By the time Laura and I arrived back home in Summerland, BC Canada, we had spent over 25 hours in the air on 5 different aircraft (including a helicopter!), and over 20 hours sitting in airports awaiting flights. Plus there was the 7-hour drive home from Seattle.

Saying goodbye to family is hard. Word is, Keren once again came down with malaria just hours after this photo was taken...please continue to pray for her and other missionaries who literally dedicate their lives, health, and comfort for the work of God's kingdom here on earth.

Not your typical airport refueling truck...

Some questionable cargo...
Leaving our new friends...not an easy thing to do
The ASAM Farm in Mozambique: an ambitious project with unlimited potential. It's a great place to put some dust on your shoes...and some memories in your heart.

Will God bring us back here one day? Who knows.
But for now it's goodbye.

Stay tuned for more...

  1. I love the picture of us in front of the helicopter! I want to frame it! The picture of me waving goodbye, however, is rather forlorn :O( We sure miss you here! Glad you are back safe and sound.
