Brothers and Sisters in Christ,

        The time continues to come closer for us to return to our home in Kenya.  There is no apprehension in the air, only excitement and enthusiasm.  Five days now stand between us and the day we climb aboard the first plane to start our trip.  Many things remain to be done, bags to pack, things to prepare for mailing, phone calls and plans to be made so that hopefully all will move smoothly in this up-roar.  It will be nice to return to our own home and fall into a much-needed routine.
        As many of you know we will be taking a short side trip on our way back to Kenya.  We will be arriving in Kisii on the 22nd of September.  If you would like to write we would appreciate reading your letters.  Also, many people have asked if we have a phone.  The answer is yes.  From now on, the telephone number will be included in our address at the top of the page.  If you would like to call we would enjoy talking with you.  The best time to call would be between 6:00 a.m. – 8:00 a.m. or 10:00 p.m. – 12:00 p.m. eastern time.  All of these times are during low rate calling weekdays, but cheaper rates can be found on weekends during these same times, as most of you know.  It is not as expensive as you might think.  Some who have called during the last 2 1/2 years told us they were charged less than $ .90 a minute.  As a comparison, for us to call any of you would cost $4 – $6 a minute. Our number can be dialed direct.
        Let us take this time to thank you once again for your hospitality and love that was shown as we traveled around the states visiting all of you.  We pray the Lord will bless you greatly in the next three years that we are separated.  Please write now and then, but most of all remember us in your prayers, as we will you concerning your physical and spiritual growth in the Lords Kingdom.
        We are anxious to see our Luo Christian Brethren, and anxious to send you a report on their progress in the upcoming months.

                                                                                                    We love you,
 

                                                                                                    Barry and Stacy
