Cousins from Africa!


This last weekend we have the priviledge of hosting Mike's cousin and family on stateside assignment from Mmbatho, South Africa. Jody and Dennis have been on assignment in South Africa for 4 years and are headed back on January 4th. They have 5 children, three boys and two girls. We enjoyed their stay here although very short and very sickly. You see they were supposed to come on Thursday and their plans were changed, then Friday and some of their kids were sick. On Saturday everyone woke up and everyone was fine. The drive here they did well on. Unfortunately once they got here both Jody and Dennis ended up getting sick. Mike and I were able to help take care of the kids while they took care of each other. It is no fun getting sick but it is even worse when it is not your house. They shared their wonderful sickness with our family but it was wonderfully nice to see them anyway. They are missed greatly here in the states but they are right where God wants them and we saw that in their hearts and minds when they were here. Please pray for the Janz family as they travel back and share the story of Jesus and His love for the South African people.

Hey there! I just thought I'd leave you a comment and let you know that I miss ya'll! Found your blog from the email you sent my Mom. Hope you are all doing better from the sickness and that you'll let us know if you are ever in Duncan. Sarah, Zach and Isabelle are so much more grow up then when I last saw them! Please tell them Abby said to say "hi!".

And if you want to check out a few of my travel photos from Thailand and Australia go here: http://abigailsmithphotography.blogspot.com/2007/11/back-in-groove.html

You'll have to scroll through the blogs from June through September for Thailand photos.

It's so great to be back home after FIVE months away. I'll talk to you later! And now I can keep up with ya'll since I know about this blog!

God Bless!
