JoeAllen and Glenda's stories

  Dear Friends,   Greetings from abroad!   We hope this finds you each doing well!   God blessed us with a very good time on furlough reconnecting with family and friends! Since we had not been home for more than two years, it was a treat indeed and very different! We were blessed to be able to spend time with our parents, siblings, nieces, and nephews.   We spent a few days in VA catching up with family before heading to GA where we spent nearly two weeks with Joe's family. After returning to VA, we stayed in VA with the exception of a trip to Ohio to be with the Bender family.   On our return, we experienced unexpected delays. We arrived in Roanoke only to discover our first flight was delayed to the point of missing our next flight. We decided to delay our departure one day and take the same flights the following day, so we returned and slept in our house again. What a feeling! Saying goodbye, thinking it will be long until we return, only to sleep ...

  Dear Friends,   Greetings from Kenya!   For those of you that checked the blog and noticed how long it has been since we updated it, this Yoder family took furlough and enjoyed our time of reconnecting with friends and family back home. Internet connection is poor, and it is taking too much time to download pictures, so we will show you a very recent picture of our children, taken after church today. This coming week looks full and interesting, so hopefully we will have pictures and stories soon.  Be blessed! -JoeAllen and Glenda, Tiffany and Elliot
