We are saying our last goodbyes and packing our last bags. Africa, here we come! The boys are excited and ready to get settled into their new home. We are so excited to see what God has planned for us and to see how He has been working in Southern Sudan.
We leave the US on Thursday, April 9th. We fly out of Shreveport, La. We will make it to Nairobi, Kenya the night of the 10th, us and hopefully all 26 pieces of our luggage. We will be in Nairobi for a couple of weeks before heading to Zambia where we will have "bush" orientation. We will stay in Zambia for a little over a month and then head back to Nairobi. Nomads we will be for several months. At this point, Walker has no idea what "home" is. We have been out of our house since November. Hopefully, we will make it to Sudan by the end of June.
We can not thank our friends and family enough for all the support you have given us. We love you all and look forward to keeping in touch with you. We will continue to send updates as long as internet access is available. We also look forward to hearing about what is going on with you, so please email us, too.
Please continue to be in prayer for us and for the Toposa people of Southern Sudan.
