The Long Good-bye, Part 12

This past week was a little bit different than most. Bryan and the team guys along with Murphy Crowson and Marty Koonce from Tabligbo went on a 4 day safari. (Not so different actually.) The different part is that Christine Crowson, Louise Koonce and their children stayed in Kara to visit! The Tabligbo school teachers Miss Emily and Miss Rachel also taught all of the school age children all week for Nicole and me. Needless to say, I was glad for the break to prepare for our move and our Preston Road visitors that arrive tomorrow! Plus, we got in a lot of good “girl time”.

I truly regret not having a picture to show my dear friends’ glowing (read sweaty) faces and sweet servant hearts as they helped me pack on Tuesday morning. Then again, it’s hard to take a picture of a servant heart. I guess you’ll just have to trust me. Louise, Christine, Becky, Andrea, Nicole, and April all contributed in some way to relieving my packing stress. They somehow made a really daunting task fun and uplifting. Thanks to these great women I am nearly packed and ready for the PRCC group to cart off our trunks. I am grateful.

    What a blessing to share this task with these specific friends. I would have loved to be a part of this packing party.
    Can’t wait to hear about the Preston Road Visit. I know this will be special.
    Expect Blessing!
