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.

You guys are awesome and I am so thankful that I got to see you while you were stateside! I'm praying that ALL of you can get some sleep on the ride home...
Knowing how sensitive to routines toddlers are, Keira was AMAZING. Even one night as hectic as the evening at our house was (which was the latest T has stayed up ever, I think) takes recovery. Night after night of new places and people ... you would have never known K was oceans from home, she adapted so well. You guys are doing an amazing job parenting a child who can cross cultures so smoothly. I am so impressed. Many blessings on your trip home. Please, please take a week of mellow down time at home to just adjust back. You really deserve it. You need a vacation from your trip! So fun to see you. ~ Jess
It was great to see you in Los Angeles! Praying for safe travels home.
Look forward to having you home
Andrew, Tarina, Tayla & Seth
Safe travels and may the flights go as smoothly as possible. Hope that your two little ones adjust quickly to being back home in South Africa again.
Such a pleasure seeing you guys and your beautiful children. Be safe, be blessed and hope to see you again soon.
