small world! Keith- Please say hello to your travel companions from Bob and Mary Jarvis' eldest granddaughter (Gary's daughter). My late grandmother absolutely adored Mark and his entire family. My Mamaw and Papaw were members of Trinity since I can remember! You are in great hands and company. Enjoy your journey- Marley Jarvis Baltz
Thoughts and prayers are with you. Keith, just wanted you to know that you are being thought of and prayed for. I am so excited for you and Rachel and little Kamina. I know God has great plans for all of you. You and Rachel have been a blessing to our church family. God be with you.
Hi Keith - we are so excited to be a part of your journey! We are so proud of you. Kamina is so lucky to have a Daddy like you! We are praying for you every day! Take care! The Hoffman Clan
Your first post Ah Mr. A. you are so cute and kind! All I did was make sure you got poked and prodded a lot - you are the one who has been phenomenal and continue to be. I am so very, very proud of you! I was excited today to hear from Israel there is another couple interested in adopting two children so maybe our dream of having a bunch of little DRC kids growing up together in Lee's Summit is going to happen! Be safe and well and know I am missing you down Mr. Bonski!
Where in the World... is my husband? I think he might be over lots of water as of this writing. He left Kansas City yesterday afternoon around 1:30 P.M. headed to Detroit. Then from Detroit flying overnight to Amsterdam. This morning he and the mission team he is traveling the first leg of the journey with left from Amsterdam headed to Johannesburg, South Africa. They will get to bed down at a Methodist Mission Guest House for the night and then...Lumbumbashi! Our baby girl Kamina is already in Lubumbashi so praying he gets to meet her almost as soon as he steps off the plane. I will be logged into SKYPE so when they log on I can hopefully see them together. Lubumbashi is seven hours ahead of us.
Your Journey Hi Keith -
Wow... the day has finally arrived! You're actually on your way to the mother land! I just want to say that my prays are with you, Rachel and the rest of the group. May your journey be a safe and trouble free. You guy's are doing a wonderful thing by giving a home to this little person, God will bless you dearly. If I may other some words of encouragement.
