Missionary Jack came home
to a neighborhood of yellow balloons & welcome signs- it was a glorious reunion.
Actually-- before heading home we stopped at In & Out Burger. If you have been reading for a while, you may remember that an In & Out Burger was announced & started building before Jack left for Brazil. It's been up & running for years now- per Jack's request we headed there for lunch straight from the airport.
It's been said- at least at our house- there is nothing quite like an American Cheeseburger.
Back at home we unloaded & headed into the house.
We got a better look at the shoes.
Jack is so proud of the miles he put on these babies.
Um- hello? We could have sent money or even a pair of shoes? boys?
Still- they are a constant reminder of the work. The work he has given the past two years of his life for. The work of spreading the good news- that Christ Lives!
Yes- we love these shoes.
Jack had presents waiting for him at home. He missed two Christmas's & two birthdays!
Mostly- Jack had presents for us.
Brazilian candy- purses- a hammock for dad. Lots of souvenirs- it was so much fun to see what he brought us.
I am so humbled.
Part of why I haven't written here is - how?
How do you describe such an experience? It is sacred.
I am blessed.
