The Summer of Searls

The past six weeks...we are just calling it for now the Summer of Searls! And what a FABULOUS SUMMER it has been! 
Dan and Katy Beth have been able to jump in to Bible Story-telling and have been a part of our pastors lives in Nebbi as well as in South Sudan and they have met our friends in Arua in between!
The girls have loved on all of the little people that are daily a part of our life in Arua and the ones that come through our home-home regularly.


Literally the DAY before they left Arua, Katy Beth led a women's retreat including 5 nations that met together to hear from Him!


One integral character in the story of this summer is Mundu, the pig. 
Susannah has always wanted a pet pig...for the last 5 weeks...her dreams came true.
Tomorrow morning she flies home to Budapest and begins her senior year of high school...and we have a pig.  (we wish we had Susannah instead!)

Katy Beth and Pastor Joyce last Sunday morning outside of Nebbi town...

The summer needs a lot more pictures and many more stories to capture, but this is a start.
Our hearts are full as we say good-bye. God has been SO GOOD to us.
We praise Him for the gift of family and shared memories...shared life.
Hallelujah! Praise God Forever!
