We had a wonderful time in Pietermaritzburg! Brad's meetings at Scottsville Baptist Church were productive, and we're looking forward to more time there in the near future.
The Houghting family- Ron & Louise and their children, Robyn, Aimee, Craig & Timothy - graciously hosted our family for the second time now, and we thoroughly enjoyed our time together! They are so kind to open their home to us and treat us like family. Thank you!
We then moved on to the South Coast to spend some time with another missionary family and have a few relaxing days off at the beach. What a blessing! It was relaxing and encouraging.
Unfortunately our car broke down on the way home! The car broke down Sunday around noon, and Monday was a public holiday. So, when you add the fact that we were in a little town, you end up with a repair that's finally finished on Thursday morning! We are ecstatic, overjoyed and elated to be home tonight, and will rest nicely in our own beds again.
Thank you so much for your prayers as we traveled. We thank God for returning us home safely.
Mary, for the fam

Glad to hear you're safely home. Annika is really precious as I'm sure you realize by now. Her big brother is a card, too. Love ya'll,
