WELCOME HOME, Thursday October 17, 2012

After 18 months in Zimbabwe, we were excited to see our family once again and be in their arms.  Words will never express how much we love our family and the wonderful support they were to us while we were gone.  Each and every one of them has a special place in our hearts.

This is what it is all about, FAMILY, we love you so much!!!!!

SAYING GOOD-BYE TO ZIMBABWE

These are a few of our most favorite people on earth. We love them and what they stand for, and will be eternally grateful to them for their friendship.

The following pictures were taken the Sunday before we left for home, it was the hardest thing that Sister Heck and myself did while we were in Zimbabwe, was to say Good-bye to our dearest friends.  Believe us when we say that a lot of tears were shed before we left.  They will always be dear to us and a place in our heart for the eternities.
