Home from Sudan

My husband is home! And boy was he a sight for sore eyes! I didn't even try to hold back the tears when I saw him for the first time there in terminal D - the same terminal where soldiers will often arrive when returning from abroad. How do military families do it?! I'm still crying! Needless to say, we are glad and we are thankful Daddy is home.
Josh has many wonderful stories to share and I've loved listening to each one as he remembers them. I see a subtle change in Josh - I can only describe it as an increased humbleness or perhaps a greater peace. - I pray this rubs off on me:) I predict we'll all be taking a family mission trip in the future - not sure where or when, but this is a goal.
Some pictures from his trip: The team took this plane from Uganda into Sudan.

Believers being baptized in the river

Most common huts in the neighboring villages, a tookul...not sure how to spell it, though.
Josh's translators whom he said were wonderful
Love this precious picture! Josh said this sweet girl was very interested in his camera....he even helped her take a few pictures.

Josh in Sudan:)
Catching up on the last 10 days...Cooper wanted to show his Daddy the scrapbook his teachers made filled with his school projects. Caroline is wearing her new handmade African dress Josh brought home for her.
