The Trip!

Well, whatever could be next but some details around our upcoming trip back to Mauritius. We're looking at leaving at the end of October, and I'll return in mid-November, probably visiting our missionaries in Marseille, France on the way back. Isabelle, Julia and Chloe will be staying in Mauritius without me until they return in January.

Ticket prices have gotten really expensive, but we discovered some tricks that are easing the pain. Frequent flyer tickets have become more valuable than ever. We have found that it works out to be better to buy miles for a frequent flyer account even if you have no miles, in order to redeem for a ticket, than to try to buy tickets directly. But you do have to get them early.

So, who's with us? Springtime in Mauritius! And a visit in the south of France!

Foreign Mission Sunday

This Sunday, April 13, we are having Foreign Mission Sunday at our church, Mid-County Church of Christ in St. Louis. Materials here will supplement and in some cases duplicate the live presentation.

It is a world tour. We start in Richmond Heights, Missouri, at our Sunday morning meeting place, and then we fly off across the Atlantic Ocean to...
