The plane ticket is bought and paid for!! Yeah & Yikes! I will board the plane for Cameroon, Africa on July 12 at 10:45am and will return to the States October 12 at 6:25pm.
In April we wrapped up “volunteer season” here in Dallas, but still have a few that will come and go over the summer months. We also have our permanent volunteers that live in Dallas, community service students from local high schools & colleges, and church & community groups. At the end of April (until May 16) I went to Kansas City for partnership development and Easter.
In May I drove to Geneva, NE to visit a church that sent groups to Dallas in January for the last two years. It was great to see them again and speak to their church about the work of Bible Translation. The trip ended with my sister’s wedding shower, it was a great way to end the trip. We had a GREAT time!
Now I am in Dallas preparing for the next volunteer season which starts in October, and preparing the office for my absence while I am in Africa.
In mid-June I will travel again for partnership development to West Texas, Colorado, then to Montana, and ending up back in Parker, Colorado in early July for my sister’s wedding.
