Leavin' On a Jet Plane!

Well, it all begins tomorrow! We fly out tomorrow - and we can hardly believe it! We can't wait to land on that beautiful fall soil of Arkansas and see our family and friends' beautiful faces! Anna's been asking us for days "When do we get to go see Mimi/PaMike and Nana/Papa?" Actually, not really. We're not even sure if she has a clue . . . but we do, and all our bags are packed (almost) and we fly out at 8am tomorrow.

The last few days have been great for time with our friends here! We've been busy celebrating the end of the fasting month with them as well as saying goodbye for a month. We are just continuing to grow in our understanding of how precious these people are. We have loved laughing with them, learning about their lives and enjoyed eating their food (it's delicious . . . most of it anyway!) We have much to share during our time home and hope to see many of you there.

Here's a few pictures taken today with some of our closest friends here. The lady with Lindsey is Nettie. She helped Lindsey plan Anna's birthday party and her daughter Kiara is good friends with Anna. Joseph is with his friend Peter who is a policemen here. I didn't know if anyone else had Joseph's sense of humor, but this guy sure does and they constantly make each other laugh!

We love you guys. See you soon!

Joseph & Lindsey
