Our time in the US comes to a close...

Hi all, 

Just a quick update.

Our time in the US has come to a close. We leave for South Africa early tomorrow morning.
We are looking forward to return to South Africa, grateful for all the connecting we were able to make but tired and not looking forward to the long travel.

We had a really good time with our spiritual director, gained some good perspective and tools for spiritual growth that will go a long way.

Our time in Portland was the most hectic, it was really fun to connect with many friends and donors but we over did it a bit. After Portland Keira was done with new places and regularly asked to go back to South Africa. We are so grateful for the Sommer's for hosting us and providing a base.

It was so encouraging how well we and our work was received. God is doing something good. We are hoping that our connections will turn into fruitful partnership.

Lastly, we had a our most restful time in Corvallis. It was was great to connect with Calvin Presbyterian and Faith Christian Fellowship Churches and then head out to the Oregon Coast mid week to rest and play. Thank you Ogles for the great gift.

We are now back in Seattle packing and gathering ourselves to a long haul. We leave tired of travel but even more convinced that what we are doing in South Africa is exactly where God wants us.
