Day Hike around the Bay.
The reason for our trip: Jenni's wedding! (One of the most Christ-centered ceremonies we've ever been to-taste of Heaven!)
We drove down the coast to LA
and stopped at Venice Beach.
We spent the night at my 7th grade History
teacher's house in LA before visiting
Hollywood on the way out of town.
Next stop, two nights in Vegas
And the Hoover Dam
Hannah made a new friend at the Grand Canyon...
...and after 6 hours, 1 runway turnaround and a mid-flight turnaround we made it out of Phoenix and back to Mishawaka. Aside from a trip to the world's largest art competition in Grand Rapids...

Used Tire Pandas
We've been busily planning our return to Guinea. We have confirmed our flights out of Chicago and plan to arrive in Bamako on Halloween. We will spend a couple days there getting visas and groceries before heading for Kankan.
Here's what the next few weeks still holds for us:
We are collecting USB memory sticks for the Center in Kankan.
We plan to take a printer system back with us for Image Africa.
We're packing cereal, tupperware, 12v fans, cheese powder, M&Ms, toiletries, and clothes into our bags to haul with us.
Our house still has no one to live in it while we're gone. We could really use someone to keep it homey and help out with our mortgage. Know someone? Our house... ...and basement. Tell them!
Fenley also still needs a home. We'd prefer to take him with us but he'd make travel much more difficult (and expensive), is likely to lick something poisonous, and would make us look even more "outside' to our neighbors. Know someone who's considering getting a dog and wants a trial run?
Lucas and Bekah will be moving out next week and plan to head to Senegal the end of November.
We have definitely enjoyed our time at home and though we're excited about our ministry, we're a little reluctant to return to our life in Guinea. But as I read yesterday, "If your dreams don't scare you, they're too small."
