Ahhh! What a welcome we received when John and I arrived back at Mom-Mom and Pop's in North Carolina on Monday evening! There was a "Welcome Home" banner with pretty foil streamers hanging from the porch. And inside, we surprised Bethany and David who were busily finishing cards and wrapping things for us. Joey was at his scout meeting at the time, so we got to squeeze him a bit later than the other two. I think Mom-Mom and Pop were gald to see us, too! Smokey, well...he could take us or leave us. That's a cat for you!
Now comes the business of sorting our thoughts and re-packing everything so that we can fly off to Liberia on August 26. The tickets have been bought, so....here we go! As Joey noted this morning, tomorrow will be the month we're leaving!
I realized just last night that on the Farrell's blog, Tommy has the tour of the Africa Mercy under "video". Follow the link to the right and check it out. There is an example of the family cabin that is very similar to the one assigned to our family.

So glad you guys survived that mammoth drive. Sounds like you got a lovely welcome back! We miss you! Probably not quite as much as your kids and parents did during the last month, but still lots! Its looking promising for us to be catching you up at Christmas! Will be praying for you as you get ready in the next 26 days and beyond! Much love The Farrells x
We are so excited for you to begin your adventure. We know that God is going to use (and stretch) you in mighty ways. Many blessings upon you!
