On July 12th we headed down to Illinois for a quick trip to see Tom's sister Tami, her husband, Steve, and their 3 kids--Ashley 9yrs., Andrew 6 yrs., and Melissa 2 yrs.--before they headed back to the mission field. We arrived late but were able to spend some time helping them with their luggage. On July 13th we all headed out around 6:30am to the airport. Everything ended up going smoothly for them at the airport which was quite a praise.
It was hard to see them leave knowing that they won't be back for another few years or so. The kids grow up so fast, and we miss seeing that. The oldest, Ashley, was crying b/c she is old enough to understand that leaving means not coming back for a long while. I'm so glad that we were able to make that short trip to spend the day and a half together with them. When you think of it, pray for the missionaries your church supports and their families. It's hard to be so far away from your family.

We sure know that! Matt's sister is a single missionary to a jungle village in Mexico. Thankfully we're able to email her often.
What country do they minister in?
Wow! They are cute kids. I'm glad to put a picture in my mind as I pray. Thanks, Turbo.
