Well here we go again. Mark is off to Africa again. He leaves tomorrow for Benin and Togo. He goes to the ship for a day or two, then he drives 4 hours across the border into Togo. He is looking forward to the trip. He will be gone for 3 weeks. We always miss him when he is gone, but i know it is what God has for us at the moment. The girls really miss him when he is gone. Cailin was teary when she went to be tonight. She always gets really emotional when Mark leaves. Jessie is always stoic, but i know she really misses him. Jessie and Mark are much too alike in so many ways. He does so much around here, I get so tired when he is gone, oh and lonely.
Well for anyone who does not know, i have resigned my current position with the clinic I have been at for the last 2.5 years. It is time for many reasons. I am going to move on and work with another doctor here in Tyler. It will give some new variety to the things that I do. So i will spend my last month at the clinic without Mark here to support me. It will be a long September. It should be an interesting month.
please pray for our family, especially the girls. pray for mark to travel safe and return home healthy. pray for him to get the work completed that he needs. He loves what he does. Pray that he has a great time of connection with the missionaries in Togo, even if that is through peanut M&Ms. Pray for the community, for all of the people in our lives with H1N1!!!! We have had so many cases in the clinic. I pray that my SUPERHUMAN immunity holds strong:)
We are so blessed with all of the wonderful people in our lives.
