Home from Madagascar

Ted is home from Madagascar. His naturally sweet temperament has been made even more pure by his service to the Lord for the past two years. He has been entertaining us by speaking in Malagasy and telling stories about bugs and people. Lauren was so cute waiting for him at the airport. When he came in he hugged his mom and all the boys and shook hands with all the girls, including Lauren. Her side comment, "What an anti-climax." After two years waiting she gets a handshake. Oh well, that's the life of a missionary.

Yeah Ted!! Though his actual home coming may have been less than climactic, I think perhaps Sunday will the winner for most variety of emotions expressed in one day. See you there.

Well, hello Brimstan! I saw your link on Robin's comments. Ted and Mark both gave wonderful talks in church yesterday...my entire family loved it! Wow, what an amazing week for your family...best wishes to Mark as he departs. I'm happy for Colleen that she got one son back before having to say goodbye to another!
