Going Home.....
I know it's been a while since my last post mostly still recovering and lots of prayer.....The follow up xray went well and the Dr was very pleased with how my bone is healing although I had to make the decision not to return to Sudan on this trip....I am feeling very disappointed but I am also really looking forward to returning in the near future. My decision was based on prayer and that I would not be able to keep up with the team coming next week and do not want to slow them down or be a burden. I want to be as effective as possible and to do that I must take care of my body so that I can be very strong again. Please continue to pray for healing, physical as well as dealing with the emotional that comes with the challenges of feeling so limited and the disappointment of not being able to the mission field for now.....I will be returning to the states just after New Year. I am looking forward to seeing my family and friends but I am also feeling very sad about leaving Africa and Not seeing Rose and Gloria and David before I leave. I will post more once I have more time to process all that is happening....Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.....to All of you

Patti and I remember how we felt when the Lord Jesus made it clear to us that we were to return to Wisconsin while we were in Yorba Linda, CA. We had just spent 4 months in Mexico and CA going through our intense Cultural immersion and training preparing us to go serve in Nairobi Kenya full time.
Our Mission Pastor asked me one day," Charlie, does Jesus want you to serve the Sudanese from Kenya, or Wisconsin?"
Very hard question to answer as I really wanted to go full time in Kenya. I now know though that we are more able to serve The Sudan from Wisconsin. Jesus works behind the scene knowing way more than I ever can. It's been a blessing to serve the living God according to His perfect will for us. Praise Him in all things.
We wait, watch and pray with you as Jesus works out the details of your life.
I am so sorry to hear that you will not be able to return to Sudan at this time. Im sure that was a very difficult decision to make. God is so good, and I just know He has a great plan for you and your ministry. God Bless!!
Hey girl, I'm praying hard for you! I'm sure your decision to come home was very difficult, but I'm so proud of you for being obedient to the Lord!
Enjoy your last few days. Praying for your heart and safe travel.

sorry we missed getting to see you when you came back to Kijabe for a check-up! The kids and I stopped by the clinic but you were already gone. Sorry to hear you won't get back to Sudan this trip. Blessings to you!

Give me a call when you return. i would love to get together. God has a reason for everything. Bless You!
Michael, I know how disappointed you are, but I also know how strongly you trust the Lord and His promises, including the one in Jeremiah 29:11. We don't always understand His plans for us at the time, but we know they are to prosper us, to give us hope and a future. You have my prayers for peace with the decision to return home, a safe journey, full physical healing, and new directions from the Master Planner soon. It will be so good to have your smiling face back in Tapestry!
love you, Donna
