the air out here

Greetings from beautiful Spokane, Washington! I am waiting with my sister, Dorothy, for our sister, Kiki, to arrive from Japan.  My flight finally arrived just before 1:00 a.m. local time which is 4:00 a.m. Ohio time!  What a day/night!  The good news is that we have a week with Kiki, and we will have our final, "Good-bye" to our parents.  Amid all the chaos of packing the house and transferring our lives to Sierra Leone having this time to reminisce with them about Mother and Daddy will be so good.  

So, I will be in and out of connectivity, mostly out.  Randy will be in Indiana with his family for Juanita's birthday on Tuesday, and he hopes to get some of the farm equipment palletized for shipping.  Katey is in the bush in Mozambique and needs your prayers for her visa to get resolved by July 26th.

We have gotten information about a very good ticket at a very good price to Sierra Leone on August 21st.  Here's praying it happens!
