As the sun sets on our time in Texas, we did our ship farewell just a bit backwards! We knew everyone still on base was going to the fireworks tonight and we wanted to say good-bye, so we walked over to the meeting point and gave every person in each van a farewell hug. What a joy! What a privilege to meet these people who will soon be joining the ship in Africa!
We had originally thought to join the party, but a slip on the Loft stairwell yesterday has left me with a sprained ankle and I wanted to be able to cruise through the airport tomorrow. We depart from the IOC at noon on Saturday and we hope to be hugging our family by six p.m.! Blessings to you all . . .
