Wish there were a few more hours today ...

We have been going strong all day shopping, packing, cooking and loading ... here is a quick glimpse of our day.










it's dark here and Mark is busy pulling out the things he needs and packing his personal action packer so we can load our bakkie and head to bed.  We are looking forward to this outreach with the Christ Seminary students in Xigalo.

Sorting Equipment

This afternoon we headed to the mission farm along with the Crawford's and Hixon's to help the Vaughan's sort their equipment for the first outreach.  I was excited that Mendi was able to see the mission farm and experience a little bit of the preparation. 










Brit's Graduation

Today we celebrated Brit and Ben's graduation.  It was a beautiful day and several of the mission staff were able to join us as well as our friend Debbie.  We are so proud of both of them and we look forward to watching what the Lord has in store for each of them.

We were also thankful for technology today that allowed Grams (Mark's mom) and Grandmom (Alicia's mom) to skype in.  They were both determined to see her graduation even though it was 3 am in Texas!





Mark welcomed everyone
