sorry it’s been a little while since we’ve written.  things have been quite busy.  on a sad note, Hope’s grandmother passed away last week.  Hope is back in Texas with Nathaniel for the ceremony.  I am home alone with Sam while we get ready for the team that is coming next week.  Please keep Hope and her family in your prayers during this difficult time.

things here are going well.  After next weeks team it will be a couple months before our next visitors.  we will have more time in the villages, so that is always fun and exciting.  the kids continue to grow.  Nathaniel is on the verge of crawling and Sam is starting to put together sentences.  Hope and I are so blessed to have such wonderful kids.

This year has gone by so quickly.  It’s crazy that Thanksgiving is less than a month away.  It’s fun to think about what all of our friends and family will be doing for the holidays.  Know that we will be thinking about you all during this season and wishing we could celebrate with you.  who knows, maybe next year…..

The last two weeks have been so busy.  Dave has been gone every day from sun up to sun down working with the Medical Team.  They saw thousands of patients, perfomed many surguries, and de-wormed an entire village.  It was awesome!  Here are some of the photo highlights for our family…
