Remember us?

A lot has been happening lately: we spent a several days away at a retreat in very rural Mali for our annual prayer conference, we have been entertaining a number of visitors on their way through Mali, and we're still playing catch-up after our December vacation. Mostly, though, we're finding ourselves very busy with day-to-day life right now. I guess twin nineteen month old girls will do that....
Still, we want to keep you all updated on what's going on in our lives and right now we'll do that with a few pictures. There are many, many more pictures available by clicking here so be sure to check them out.
Before you head over to look at the pictures, though, I'd like to briefly mention that we have been praying and talking about our future roles in ministry here in Africa. We don't have anything specific to share right now but please remember us in prayer over the next few weeks. We're excited for what the future may hold and look forward to sharing as soon as we can!
While we're praying for the future, we're thinking of the past right now, too. It was 4 years ago this week that Thom made his first trip to Africa - heading to Burkina Faso to help build a radio station in Tougan. That station went on the air last fall and had a dedication ceremony just 2 weeks ago. Wow, a lot has happened in 4 years! If you'd like to read more about how we came to serve as missionaries in Mali you can read that here.
