Exciting news!   I have a plane ticket in hand and will be heading back to Zambia on June 1st!   Thank you to all who have partnered with me from across the country to make this happen.  I am truly blessed by all the new friendships I have made, especially in the Michigan District.
I have spent the first months of 2016 still criss-crossing the state, meeting so many new people in the churches every week.  I had a wonderful time meeting up with friends at sectional councils and district council in March and May.

I have moved out of my rental house in St. Joseph, MI and am living with my parents in Wisconsin now.  I visit Michigan on the weekends to finish the last churches I'm sharing at before I leave.    All my things are in storage (those I didn't sell or give away). The last detail is to sell my car.  Still looking for a buyer of a very nice 2014 Equinox LS.  It has 45,000 miles from all my travels but those are mostly highway miles.  I'm asking $15,500 if anyone is interested.  I'm keeping the kayak rack but here's a few pictures.





The last few weeks have been full of packing and throwing and lifting and giving and saying good bye to friends and family for three years.  It's quite the process, but I am so joyful to be saying hello to friends in Zambia I haven't seen in two years.  I am ready to hit the ground running with our mobile medical clinic.  I'll need to do some training with the Zambian Ministry of Health and renew my medical license and work permit.

God has blessed me with the opportunity to move into a fully furnished place to live.  One of our amazing missionary couples, the Santiago's retired last month after 50 years of serving in missions.  I am going to live in the place they rented.  They have left all their household goods to me to buy cheaply.  It worked wonderfully that they didn't have to rummage all their items and I don't have to go find and buy all the daily things.

Please pray that the last packing logistics and good byes go well.  Please pray for safe travels. Please pray as I meet with old and new friends, I listen well to what is needed and what I am to do this term.
Thank you for all your prayers and support!!!
