Back in Africa

We've been back for e few days now, and things are going well. We had a couple of days at WAMR, the West Africa Missionary Retreat, and now we are in Accra. We are going to do some much needed shopping in the next two days and then head back home to Kara. We have to stock up on all kinds of food items beause the 12 summer interns from Harding will be arriving in just a couple of weeks. Should be a great and crazy time!

Here are some pictures from WAMR. I was an amazing and uplifting time for our family and for the rest of the missionaries in attendance. Thanks to Joe McReynolds for speaking God's truth to our hearts and to our colleagues in West Africa for making us feel like a part of the family (for a group pic of all of the missionaries at WAMR, check out our Africa blog http://emersonstogo.blogspot.com ). We love you all!
