Deron Finally Gets to Be in America!

After almost two years in West Africa, Deron finally gets to make his own trip to America (I've been three times!). Next week he'll be attending a Member Care conference in Virginia. He went back a week early to spend time with his family in Mississippi.

Here he is with our nephew Drew, who looks like an entirely different person than when we saw him last. He's grown a lot!

Deron is having a great time with his family and also seems to be consuming copious amounts of junk food!

Please pray for him -- that his time with friends and family will be really special, and that the meetings will go well next week. He gets back to Abidjan Dec 17.
