saying goodbyes...again

We are finally at that point where the summer is coming to a close. We leave for the airport in about an 45 mins and it is crazy to think that we will be on our way back to the states in a matter of hours. This last week has been so great catching up with old friends hanging out and having some time to debrief a little and start to process our experience this summer. The journey home is going to be a long (and I fear rather emotional) trip mixed with sadness of leaving people and excitement of seeing family and friends.

There are so many thoughts racing through my head right now as I know I have not even begun to describe our experiences here in Latvia and Russia adequately and wishing to express everything that we have seen and done and all the people who have touched our lives in such a brief time. This has truly been one very interesting and very amazing summer. The Lord have moved in so many more ways than we could have ever imagined and it has been such a blessing to be here see Him be glorified!

Thank you so much for all of your prayers and support and for keeping up with us, it really means more than you know!! All the pictures have been uploaded now, so you can find them from the links on the right and hopefully can have an image of what all we have been up to!

It is always weird/sad leaving the mission field--a new home where you have loved and been loved. What an amazing trip it looks like you had!

I found your blog through Hope Engaged--I'm excited to read more about your trips!
