Though this post could be my longest, I am keeping it short, so I can savor every moment with our family and friends here. By this time tomorrow, we will be at the Entebbe Airport, preparing to board the first round of flights home. My heart is full, but it is also aching as we have started our goodbyes.
This week was full of goodness and love, and it was topped off by a super-fun children's gathering this morning. We had the elementary-aged kids from Rock Baptist Church and our Backyard Bible Club kids all gather for games, icebreakers, dancing, prayer, and a lesson on being salt and light to the world. And in typical church style, we finished with food (pizza and soda). We pray that new friendships were forged and will grow over the next several years.
We are spiritually tired and physically spent, but we are encouraged and full of joy for all the Lord has done. I will write a final post for this journey that captures more details of our final week, after decompressing at home for a bit.
We will hit the ground running at church on Sunday, and in early October, we will be traveling to Ohio for a friend's wedding. May God continue to be gracious and help us plug back in to American life and all that entails.
We are so thankful to you all who have followed us for these 12 weeks. Your love, prayers, and support have been felt and have gone beyond our expectations. Our mighty God has done much with what has been shared. To the Everlasting God alone be glory, honor, and praise.
Until we see you again...may He be gracious and Tuonane!
Jim and Chrissie
