Friends

Last week was a sad week for our family. Two of our dearest family friends left to return to the United States. The Seller family with their five children left on Tuesday (Ah, we miss you all!) and our children cried all the way home from dropping them off at the bus station. (They only had 28 suitcases to take home with them!)

Greg and Dorinda Beale left on Saturday, and we miss them very much as well. Because we were next door neighbors here at Tyndale House, we saw each other daily, and Dorinda and I also walked together regularly. Greg and Dorinda would join us as we walked to church on Sundays, and I was able to take pictures of our last Sunday together here:

Here is Greg kindly carrying one of the children's scooters:

We always see beautiful gardens~


Ah, we miss you Dr. and Mrs. Beale!

That college was a pretty one. Newham (or Newnham?), right?

Thinking of you!

Wow, it seems like you were just saying "hellos" there, and now it's already time for "good byes"! This is our life on this earth....all temporary and ever-changing. It makes me long for Heaven's permanence even more. And now you'll recognize a few more faces there. What a blessing. Until our next "hello"....
