We are leaving Idaho… Not to much longer in North America!

Friday, June 12th, 2009

Hey,

We are getting ready to take off on Monday for Canada. :) After two months working in Liberty, MO and some time with my family in Idaho, it’s time to spend a couple of weeks with Anthony’s parents and sisters. So when are we leaving for Africa? Hopefully by the end of June! We will be leaving from Edmonton Alberta, and we’ll let you know as soon as we have a date.

Does everyone know that we are expecting? The due date for baby Reid is November 17th, and yes we intend to have our first baby in Uganda. :) Please keep us in your prayers.

We have been making first aid kits to take to Uganda. We have about 6 of them now, all various sizes. I am amazed at the money you can save by buying the items at the dollar store and packing them in zip-lock freezer bags. You get twice as much stuff, and a much better variety for your money. We had a big blessing here as well. Some friends of ours were volunteering at a free clinic in Ontario Oregon, and we went along with them to help and came out with children’s vitamins and lots of first aid stuff. Thank you Lord!

Take care, make comments or email us,
