As Stacy and I have pursued missions for the last 10 or so years, our family has grown! God has been working on the little hearts of our children as we prepare to move to West Africa. To help them understand and prepare for the transition we often try to talk about what life in Africa might be like, and why it is we are going. We decided it might be fun to share some of their insights with you!
