The trip to Uganda was far more difficult {for me personally} than I could have imagined. Something happened that not even the team knew about. One day I will share about it, but not for awhile. It’s been three weeks since returning.   This morning we were talking about Africa during our Bible study together….

Whooooa. What a day! After nine plus years…. Our Jubilee Promise can hear! This past week Jubilee had another appointment at the audiologists.  Her hearing loss is moderate to severe in her right ear and severe to profound in her left.  It has taken awhile to figure it all out, but finally it has been…

There was some shootings…

We were sorely…

Emma and I have just landed in the US.  One more flight and we will be ONLY a four hour drive home.  I just spoke to Dw.  He said that when he walked out of the bedroom today Elizabeth was sitting on the stairs waiting for him.  She looked at him and said most seriously,…

Before I begin the stories of Africa….I must tell a story…. About six weeks ago I received an email from a young bloggy friend named Piper…. Here’s what it said: Good morning from Texas, Linny! 🙂 As I’ve been spending some sweet time with my littles this morning and preparing to embark on our search for…

We have landed in Europe.  Emma and I and a few of the others had many tears as our plane journeyed toward Europe.  It is sooo painfully hard to leave.  I can’t even put it into words yet.   I am compelled to do more. I don’t know what that exactly looks like.   But…
