Trip down memory lane
When I was here in Congo (then called Zaire) as a kid, I spent most of my time in Karawa. Karawa is a town about 70 km East of Gemena and is traditionally a Covenant Church mission station but it was also where a missionary boarding school had been installed. MKs from all over the area came to school there and would live there, in a dormitory, while attending classes. I have many, many memories of Karawa and UBAC (Ubangi Academy), most of them very fond. Three weeks ago, Sarah, Hannah and I, along with Aaron, Michelle and Soleil had a chance to visit Karawa and I took lots of pictures. It was interesting to see how many things have changed but how other things are right where and how they used to be.

It still amazes me how God knits lives together. Remember on your wedding video when Aaron said that you and Sarah should move and be their neighbors? Little did we know that a year later you would be doing just that... not in the States but all the way back to the roots of your friendship in Congo. I'm glad that you were able to share Karawa with your wives and daughters.
