Well, as many of you know, we're back in Zim. We actually left this place about this time last year, so we didn't get to see many of the "winter" flowers in bloom. Marshall, the grounds keeper, gave Abbi and I the dime tour of the guest house property when we arrived late yesterday. His papayas and avocados are coming along nicely. Abbi made fast friends with his granddaughter "Chanti" and spent the better part of the day holding hands with her, playing in the dirt and just being a kid ( a very jet-lagged kid, at that). April, Abbi, and I found ourselves just staring at each other at 3 this morning. So, we had a snack and put on a DVD in Abbi's portable dvd player, which is a God send, but better batteries would be nice. Otherwise today, we found ourselves reconnecting with old friends here and April procured some necessary supplies for our trip out to the hospital. Overall, it's great to be here. So far we've been blessed with some really good family time and have had the opportunity to slow down and see what God is doing in the world and in our lives. We'll try to keep everybody updated as best we can! The photo above was taken while spending some time in Missouri prior to leaving for Africa and was just put in as a gratuitous display of cuteness.
