Mark's dad and uncle came for a visit and they wanted to make sure that they could go into Mozambique with us and see what we do with the mission. They arrived on May 13th and left on June 5th. They had a week with us here in Polokwane and they were a huge help in all the last minute preparations for our first outreach. Along with preparing to go into Mozambique we managed to find time to have a little fun around town as well. Kelsey, one of our short-termers arrived at the same time. We enjoyed having a house full!

What a great visit! We are so glad they got to go into Mozambique with you. So much to do to get ready to go in and then so much to do when you get there! The pictures were amazing! It was neat to see some of what it takes to get ready and to set up camp. Looks like you kept Pappy and Jim very busy!
Love you,
Mom and Dad
