We are now commissioned by our church as Missionaries to Swaziland.
How exciting.
It was so fitting that the special singer was a little girl, she sang before the pastor started to speak. We received a certificate and had beautifully decorated cake, fellowship, hugs and tears afterwards.
We had 3 of our previous mission trip “family” who joined us. It was great to see Mr. Jernigan, his son Kevin, Brett and Pam Asher. Thank you for joining us in another step in our journey
We tried to explain our calling and what our goals are for the time we will spend
in Swaziland. Donald did an excellent job but I am not sure I did too well since most of my time was spent in tears.
Time is moving by so fast.
It is a bittersweet feeling,
Excitement about leaving to start the calling God has given us while the heartbreak of leaving our daughter, son-in-law and grandson, sisters & brothers and ailing grandparents and all our family. Please put our daughter in your special prayers we have always been a very close family and 8.000 miles without talking everyday will be quite a distance to get use to.
Thanks to all of you for your support in all you have done and continue to do
. Your prayers are coveted.
