Weeks 74-78 - Safari & Homeward Bound

 Well, it seems as though the last 4 weeks have flown by! Not to mention the last 18 months! All in all and looking back, the time has passed steadily and swiftly. When you are busy, time does not stand still.

We have been so grateful to put upon us the name of Jesus Christ every single day for the last 1.5 yrs. Everywhere we went, we were asked about our faith. No one is worried about bringing up Jesus Christ and talking about their beliefs. It has been very refreshing to see the devotion of the Ghanaian people. 

For a last hoorah, we went to Kenya for a Safari. We met our friends the Stuckis, who have been serving a mission in Zimbabwe, and also Jordan's brother and his wife came from the US to join us. We all met in Nairobi and headed off for adventure. There was definitely a lot of driving in the Jeep, but we saw some amazing sights for sure! Bucket List! ✅






 














We are so excited to be Homeward Bound!! We look forward to reconnecting with our family and friends! Thank you for your love and support throughout our time in Africa. It has meant everything to us! This song and lyrics have been on my mind dthe past month. Enjoy them here!

In the quiet misty morning
When the moon has gone to bed
When the sparrows stop their singing
And the sky is clear and red
When the summer’s ceased its gleaming
When the corn is past its prime
When adventure’s lost its meaning
I’ll be homeward bound in time

Bind me not to the pasture;
Chain me not to the plow
Set me free to find my calling
And I’ll return to you somehow

If you find it’s me you’re missing
If you’re hoping I’ll return
To your thoughts I’ll soon be listening
In the road I’ll stop and turn
Then the wind will set me racing
As my journey nears its end
And the path I’ll be retracing
When I’m homeward bound again

Bind me not to the pasture;
Chain me not to the plow
Set me free to find my calling
And I’ll return to you somehow.
