The house is a flutter of activity as Dw and Emma put together all the things they need to head to Uganda, Africa on Monday.
Emma will be living out the fulfillment of her hopes and dreams. Ever since I can remember when I would tuck Emma in at night she would pray that God would allow her someday to go to Africa as a missionary. She also prayed that He would allow her to adopt twin African girls (which sounds like a wonderful treasure to this grandma-to-be!). Monday, June 30th she will be on her way to seeing the start of her dreams come true! I am so thankful for her tender heart that loves the orphan. She has desperately longed to go and hug, hold and play with the orphans. She has been on 4 mission trips to the orphans of Mexico and loved every minute – crying when she had to come home! Now she will head to the continent that she has felt a calling to for at least the last 8 years – to love on babies dying in AIDS orphanages and little boys long abandoned. She is excited beyond measure!!
Dw will be doing a pastor’s conference, where he will be speaking to between 35-50 pastors and encouraging them as he equips them to continue to minister Christ’s love with integrity of heart those He has called them to. At the pastor’s conference he will be doing a total of 9 teachings. The rest of the time the plan is that he will probably also be speaking at a church for a Sunday service and maybe doing open air meetings!! He has been busy preparing his 9 teachings and sermons. For the pastor’s conference he has a booklet he has written, I typed and the printed did their fancy work. It looks really sweet!!! 
I am so thankful for my soulmate and best friend as he is willingly uses his talents and giftings to strengthen the body of Christ in the continent of Africa. He is a man of true integrity who walks day to day with the God who saved him 30 years ago!
Only one life t’will soon be past,
Only what’s done for Christ will last!
Oh how I love this precious husband of mine and my treasure-girl Emmy and boy-oh-boy am I ever gonna’ miss them!
