Farewell Friends...

The LORD is so good to bless us with many friends but everyone now and then he blesses with extra-special friend relationships. The P Family* are just such friends. Brian has know them since his first days in California and over the years they have proved to be encouraging, available, full of wise counsel and a ton of fun! Since long before we met them Dan and Rachel's goal has been to serve the Lord on the mission field, over the years we've known them it has been convicting and neat to watch them move through life with that goal ever before them. Finally, after many years of prayer, a couple changes in designated countries and lastly support raising, they're finally headed to the place the Lord has for them to serve him! We will miss these dear friends so very much! We'll miss having dinners together, game times and late night chats, but at the same time we're so very excited for them! Being so close to them these past years has made their goal and ministry very special and important to our hearts as well. We're filled with hopes and prayers to our sovereign God for this special families safety, health and joyful perseverance in their new ministry!

*Due to the place this Family is going to I figured it might be best not to state their last name or their new home country.
