Off To Africa!

Tomorrow (October 25th) we are scheduled to fly to South Africa.  We are excited!  Please keep us in your prayers as we make the transition to life in the bush...  We will do our best to put some pictures soon of our new surroundings.

Trying to get everything into 10 pieces of luggage...
As you might imagine, the last month has been quite busy in our lives...  Here a few pictures of some of the things that have transpired.

Most recently (October 5-17), we took a 12-day trip to visit Phil's parents in Guatemala.  We had the privilege of traveling with Phil's brother and family.

Prior to our trip to Guatemala, we had a big moving sale, and moved out of our rented house of 5 years.



Earlier in September, we had the privilege of visiting the Ark Encounter in Kentucky.  On the same trip, we visited in Indiana with Phil's Grandmother Geise as well as Phil's sister and family.
