We won't talk to him for the 8 days he is gone, but we will get updates from the field through the ministry he's going with, so I'll be sure and post them here. Please keep him and the team in prayer - we know God is going to do some amazing things that will change him and those he encounters. We have heard that God is really moving in Africa because often where there is such physical need people tend to rely much more on the great big God we serve - in a way that we just can't comprehend here in America where you can hardly compare American poverty to African poverty. Though we have seen pictures and heard stories, I know seeing it in person will be incredibly impactful.
Other than a date night, a small birthday gathering for a friend, and church on Sunday we spent the weekend relaxing and enjoying each other's company before this time of separation (I don't know how military families do it!). Below are some pictures from the weekend and seeing him off this morning.
Oh, and did I mention how awesome so many of our friends and family have already been to us here on the homefront? We have had so many offers of help, meals and just opportunities to stay busy while Geoff is gone. Y'all are awesome.
You know who we are!
