Off to South Africa
Tuesday, October 30, 2007 at 12:48PM Oldest daughter left us today. By the third week in November she’ll be in South Africa working in an orphanage. Right now, she’s in Vancouver taking care of some business before she goes, and then she’ll spend a couple of weeks in Europe visiting WWII sites. (I’ve told you she’s is a military history fanatic, right?)
She is very nervous to be travelling overseas for her first time, and going alone, but I’m sure she’ll be just fine. She was also very sad to be leaving us behind. Prayers for her would be appreciated.
So no post yesterday. Probably only this post for today, too, since I’m busy working on a post for tomorrow’s Reformation Day Symposium. I’ll try to post this week’s theological term and Westminster Larger Catechism posts later in the week.

Oh, Mama is going to miss her daughter, I'm sure.
I guess I won't feel bad about mine being an hour away.
Prayers definitely going up. Sounds like an amazing time, though.
Yes, I will miss her. But she'd been gone from home for ten years before she came back in June, so it's not as bad as it might be.
It should be a great experience.She loves kids and has a knack with them.
My thoughts and prayers will be with her (my niece). Yes, she will be just fine. Do hope she keeps us all informed on how and what she is doing.
