Her memorial celebration is this Saturday in Long Beach--the same day we begin our journey to Texas. Life goes on for those of us still here and our great comfort is God's presence and His love that it always with us. In our grief may we find deep and sincere thanks for all that God gave us in Cindy.
This picture is from the night before we left California last month. Scott (pictured in the center) was in Uganda at New Hope when we arrived 4 years ago. He and his wife, Lydia traveled up from the San Diego area to have supper with us and visit like good friends do!! This furlough has been filled with good friends and restful times and we are thankful!
Geoff and the kids are camping near Mt. Princeton the next few days. They will return full of stories, hot dogs and smores. On Friday we'll go to another Rockies game and on Saturday we leave for a 12 day trip to Texas to see dear friends.
Other than seeing friends and family IN PERSON (!!), one of my favorite things since I've been back in the states is receiving letters from the girls in the David Family. Two of them in particular are walking strong with the Lord and doing well in their school work. It encourages me that God is using us to impact the path of young people that might not otherwise have such an influence for Him in their lives.
If you are wanting to know more about New Hope, feel free to visit our website, www.newhopeuganda.org Obviously, since we are on furlough you might not find much direct information here about anything but how we're effectively resting and visiting with friends and family!!!!! :)
Oh, and last AND least, the answer to the previous "blog stumper" of the hamburger and fries . . . A local restaurant in Long Beach, "Hof's Hut" makes a unique dessert that looks like a main meal. The fries are pie crust pieces, the hamburger is a brownie, the ketchup and mustard are yellow & red icing and the bun is made of cake. Pretty clever and a treat for kids of all ages!!
