Comings and Goings

This morning Anita Mumba left for Micronesia. She is the wife of Dick
Mumba one of the missionary families here. She has not been back to
her small home island in 15 years. During that time both of her
parents have died. She will travel Lusaka to Johannesburg, to Hong
Kong, to Manila, to Guam, to another island, and then 2 days on a boat
to her island. Please pray for her. She is nervous about remembering
her language after being immersed in English for so many years. Pray
that she is able to show the love of God to many. She will be gone
for 2 months. So also keep her family in prayer while she is away.

This afternoon Sarah and Kayla arrive from Indiana. We are looking
forward to their visit, the second time they have been to the Village
of Hope.

Finally, Benedict's mother had the ultimate home going yesterday. At
95 years of age, after becoming more and more frail she died in her
apartment. The funeral is Thursday. Benedict has been in MD for the
last 2 weeks to spend time with her and with his sister Sandy. Four
of our six children will be there for the funeral, and I wish I could
be, but I will be there in heart and love.
