One of the hardest parts of missionary life is always having to say goodbye. When I left you all 5 years ago and every time after, I had to say goodbye. Now every time I leave to come back to my friends and family in the States, I have to say goodbye to people who have become like family here. It’s a constant part of missionary life. Pray for your missionaries today who are far from “home” whether they are Stateside on furlough or on the field. Makes me look forward to Heaven, where we will never have to say goodbye!
