Once again I have fallen behind. We HAD planned on leaving for Sierra Leone on September 16, but as many of you know, Caleb broke his leg. His leg is healing beautifully, and he will get the cast off on November 2, 2010. However, in the meantime, we found out that I needed a hysterectomy for a large fibroid. As a result, I had my hysterectomy on October 11, and had my first check-up on the 21st. I am healing fast, so the doctor said that he would see me for my final check-up in five weeks instead of six. We are now talking with the travel agent to book our flight for sometime on the week of the 15th of November. We are very excited, but somewhat tentative, as we are waiting for something else to happen to delay us. It seems too good to be true that we are finally going to fly. In the interim, we have rented out our house ( they moved in on the day of my surgery) and we are staying with some very kind friends from church. God has definitely provided through them. Thank you again for all your prayers.
