This past Thursday night we were able to go out to eat with another family that we'll be living with in Malawi. The McDonalds have been a part of our journey from the very beginning (whether they know it or not). As soon as we began feeling the call to ABC I befriended two wonderful ladies on Facebook and immediately started bombarding them with questions. One of these ladies was Leanne McDonald (Amy Stauffacher was the other). They have been so very patient with all of my crazy and silly questions. I'm so blessed to be able to bounce ideas off of these sweet ladies. What a joy it was to learn that the McDonalds were coming home on furlough for a year beginning this summer AND that they live less than an hour away! It's such a small world.
On Thursday night we met at Cock-of-the-Walk with Jan and Thad Harper and Josh and Rebecca Harper. The 3 McDonald girls and the 3 Kyser kids hit it off! By the end of the night they were outside feeding the ducks, putting on skits, and Molly Grace even came home with us to spend a couple of days! My kids are so excited to actually know some of the friends who'll we be serving with on the other side of the world! And Jeremy and I are excited as well. This is such an amazing family and we can't wait to meet the other families we're getting to know through the internet!

How close are you guys to being able to leave?
we load our stuff onto a container in April. After that our timeline isn't quite set. We're thinking we'll arrive in Malawi in June. It seems so far away but I know it'll be here before we know it.
