This week has felt so good because we've been back to "normal" life for a few days before we leave town again.  We had a surprise phone call early in the week from a friend we haven't seen since our Pacific Orientation Course in 2008.  Loved catching up with her one afternoon!  Such a camaraderie exists among those who have served overseas.



 

 Later in the week, we enjoyed more of that camaraderie with others who have also spent time overseas.

 

I love how God gives us "aunts", "uncles", "cousins", and "grandparents" to fill in during those times when our own families aren't nearby.



March will be a little bittersweet because this precious family heads back to the Solomon Islands in a few weeks.  This afternoon, we drove over to their house to visit, I mean, help out.



 

We're enjoying every minute we have with them. 

 

 

And getting a little work done while we're at it.
