a different goodbye

We recently said goodbye to our future teammates, Jordan and Lee Anne as they depart for Kenya. This goodbye is different than others because we'll be with Jordan and Lee Anne for the next several years, we just don't know when we'll be there. We consider them to be such a blessing to us now as well as in the future. Jordan and Lee Anne have two little boys. B is just a month older than J and Ja is a month younger than M. Going on the field, knowing they'll be another American family for us to do ministry with and raise our kids with is great. Jordan and Kevin have built a friendship over the last two years, working together, sharing an office and talking a lot about Kenya and the future. Lee Anne and I are looking forward to being moms together and even ministering to other women together.
With Jordan and Lee Anne gone, our desire to leave is even stronger. We just want to go! Another future teammate also arrived in Narok last week. Our team is getting there and we want to be there too.
I've been thinking that I don't just want to be in Kenya, I feel a deep yearning to be there. I want to be learning about the people we'll be serving and the culture we'll be living in and the language we'll be speaking.
