    Please be praying hard for the elections in Sudan tomorrow. There has been people dropping out of the race, talk of boycott, then to not boycott….ect. Aprehension rising as no one knows exactly what to expect from this vote and what it might do to the upcoming referendem vote in the South.

    Saturday we were able to have most of our old teammates from Malakal over for dinner. It was a wonderful time to catch up before everyone goes there different ways again. Avery loved the time seeing all her old buddies! While we were eating Claire was mentioning a devotion she had recently led. She had used the verses from Psalm 84 about how one day in the Lord’s courts is better than a thousand elsewhere. She made the example of how it is better to be in the Lord’s will, be it an airplane for hours to then go and live in a tent in the middle of hot Sudan, than anywhere else. It is better to be moving around constantly, having to pack up and re-create a temporary home, build new relationships, learn new languages and cultures… all because it really isn’t our home down here.
    This was really refreshing to hear as we have, in a good way, felt challenged over the last few years of moving and not really being sure of what the next day, week, or month would look like. But, that is really all of what our life here on earth is. I really appreciated the reminder to focus more on eternal matters and not merely temporary discomforts.
