Beware of the Ides of March...

So if you haven't already heard, Tammi, the little one, and I are heading home on March 15th. There are many factors that contributed to our decision, namely being worried about the little one. You just can't relax in a place where the doctors seem sketchy and around every corner is another potential mosquito-borne illness. We are sad to go, because we really love it here in Mwanza. The Sisters have been really nice and welcoming, we couldn't expect anything more. We hope to return here in a few years with the little one and maybe some church friends. There is a lot going on here.

So we will leave Mwanza on March 11th (Sister Jennifer is still trying to convince us to stay) and return to Nairobi. In Nairobi we will play with the kids at the House of Hope and visit the Sisters at the Incarnate Word. We will also pack and prepare for our departure on the 15th. We will return home on the 16th, probably around seven o'clock at night.

We really feel that God has placed this decision on our hearts and are confident that we are doing the right thing, despite the hard decision.

We look forward to seeing all of you in less than a month!
