Thank you!


We are sad to leave our Congo family and friends today to start our journey back.  Our route will be Kinshasa-Addis Ababa – Rome(just a fuel stop) – Washington DC Dulles-Washington DC National – Minneapolis – Lino Lakes!  We hope to make all of the connections as we have two excited people waiting for us on the other end (Mike and Landon).  So, we appreciate your prayers through the travels.  Thank you to those of you who have been praying us through this time. 

We thank the Lord for this incredible opportunity to get to live life with Garth, Jody, Sam, Anna, and Nicholas and the MAF Family here.  We love them all and appreciate even more, all that they do each day to serve the Lord here.  We are sad to leave them, but are glad that the Lord never leaves and is here to be their Center and Rock.  Thank you, DRC family, for all of your hospitality and care for us during our stay.

So, we end the blog today.  I’ll leave a few more pictures for you to enjoy.  May the Lord bless each of you along the faith journey He has for you.  I look forward to heaven when our work on earth will be done and we can enjoy each other forever.

With Deep Gratitude,
Patrice
