Our time at Daniel and Carol’s was just terrific. They, along with William and Esther, are true lovers of all things fun, adventurous, significant, and eternal. As for the children, this is as close to heaven as it gets on this side!
We are now desperately packing up five months of living here, preparing for our flight out on Monday. It’s going to be a pilgrimage of epic proportions, that’s for sure! We’re so grateful for Brave Danielle’s willingness to journey with us for two weeks, and help us through the travel and time change as we get home.
I’ll include just a few pics of the time at Daniel and Carol’s, but the first ones are video of the Hobbs doing what they do best. Singing! You can see that Nathan really fought tears. He shared with me that this song had often come to his mind through this last year. It isn’t as easy to sing as it was years ago for him, but the truth in it is where we choose to stand. Enjoy, it was meant from the heart!
Last week we had four glorious days at Nathan’s brother’s home. His sister Esther (and baby who is due in 2 weeks) and her husband William traveled down to join us at Daniel and Carol’s. Ten cousins, lots of bikes, bandaids, tears, laughs, prayers, and praises. What an amazing gift our siblings are!
