I'm back


(Deicing our plane at Chicago)
I hit the Gabonese soil running and I'm finally getting to catch my breath... whew! Meetings, grocery store run (you'd be surprised how long it actually takes!), training, and then dinner parties. I got to meet the president of the National Church here, whose first name is Bernard - he picked up on our similar names! That was kind of cool! There is such formality in those meetings... I'm getting to see another side of the culture.
So how many dinner parties do you go to that turn into dance parties? What none??? You need to come to Gabon! We definitely had a great time, but I was also glad to have Mama Jeanine intiate a monthly get together with our groups to eat, pray, and love! Sorry just couldn't resist. But the Gabonese are a very loving and gracious people and whenever we are together love is definitely evident!

Come fly with me...


Yes today is the day... headed back to Gabon. With mixed feelings - it seems harder to leave this time, a lot more tears than last time. But I am excited about going at the same time. I will miss yawl (I am from the south!). But why not "come fly with me"? As Frank would say!
Please continue to pray for me! Will post something soon - hopefully! love lcb
