On the Road...
First Stop.......Starbucks!
Where We’ve Been…
London:
After preparing for our 6 month home assignment, packing and wrapping up details in Loki, and closing off the kids’ school year with standardized testing at Rift Valley Academy near Nairobi, we were ready for a vacation. An extended layover in London provided the perfect solution. We saw as much as we could in three beautiful, rain-free days in historic London on our way back to Canada.
West Minster Abbey
Alberta:
Home! And jet-lagged. We enjoyed a couple of weeks relaxing with great family, great food, and minimal stress. A few walks on a quiet country road does a soul good. So does being on the same continent to celebrate LaReina’s brother’s 50 th birthday and her dad’s birthday in person. Blessings we used to take for granted…
S'More Time!
Alaska:
Saying, “See ya in a bit,” to Alberta, we hopped into Joel’s mom and dad’s truck pulling their 5 th wheel and began a three day drive up the Alaska Highway to Kingdom Air Corps where Joel’s mom and dad spend their summers. Mom and Dad were already up at the ranch, and a family friend joined us on the ride up to reunite the truck and trailer with its owners. Majestic mountains, crisp mountain air, and God’s unspoiled creation (including a grizzly bear that kindly let us enjoy him road-side until we were ready to move on)…soul-filling.
North to Alaska
Home! For the first time in five years, all of Joel’s family got together for a fun evening of catching up, sharing old and new stories, and cousins playing in the backyard. With Becky coming up from Oregon, Jon from the North Slope, David not off somewhere in the helicopter, and Joel from Kenya…getting everyone together (except three) was nothing short of miraculous.

Where We’re going…
Souls filled and feeling the blessings of God, we are setting out for an action packed summer as we travel back to Alberta, grab our trusty vehicle (please be praying for that – it hasn’t been driven much in the last two years), and head down to the lower 48.
We know you have busy schedules and want to connect with as many of you as we can, so here’s where WE’LL be, and please let us know if you can fit us into your schedule. We’d love to share the amazing ways we’re seeing God work in East Africa…
