Goodbyes...

Goodbyes...they just never get any easier! Sunday, we second and first trimester IBMers said goodbye to the "graduating" Spanish speaking IBM missionaries who will be launching out to their fields of service in the next few days. Two of those people are very special to us because we have lived with them most of the past six months.
Mary and Jessica became our "daughters" when we were at Orientation in Richmond. We traveled to Costa Rica with them and have spend these past months enjoying learning together. Now granted they are Spanish speakers and we are Spanish learners, but we all have learned more while being here.
Mary McPherson will be traveling to Mexico (but she has a heart for Guatemala also) as a journeygirl for two years.
Jessica Dooley will be serving in Peru for two years. They are both godly young women who have a passion for people to hear and accept the Gospel of Jesus. We are proud to call them our "daughters" and laborers together for the Kingdom. Still goodbyes just aren't easy! We love you girls!
