My hubby begins his journey to Israel in less than two hours. He is already at the airport, and I am already missing him. After a week in Israel, he will fly to Ukraine to run a Men's Conference. I will try to update you on his trip as much as I can.
This 22-second video upload is a fine example of what being a missionary can do to a family. Even though we are Americans, hubby is speaking Spanish and then the children say, "I love you, grandma Mimi" in Russian.
The children were especially emotional when their Daddy left. They miss Ukraine. It made my heart smile to know that, even in the midst of all they are enjoying in America, a part of their hearts remain in Ukraine.
As you watch this video, please whisper a little prayer for my hubby as he travels. My heart deeply thanks you.
Will be praying for David as he travels...and you and the kiddos
ReplyDeleteCute video! I caught "hola" and "babushka". :-)
ReplyDeletePraying for you all!
6 members of my church just left for Israel recently. Praying for safe travels!
ReplyDeleteJolene, we are praying for the Lord's mercies upon David as he travels, that much would be accomplised to bring Glory to God and for you and the children back here.
ReplyDeletePrayers are with you all.
ReplyDeleteI will be praying for him, and for all of you as you miss him. Love you, Jolene.
ReplyDeleteWill have you and David in our prayers as he goes to the Men's conference. I am sure that the Lord will use him mightily and that you will be a blessing to your children and all around you as he is away.
ReplyDeleteWish I could come and stay with you.
Praying for David as he travels and praying for you and the kiddos staying behind. I feel for the kids missing Ukraine! I am sure you do as well. :( Love you, friend!
ReplyDeletePrayed for you as you miss your husband and for his safety and success as he travels.

So, do you normally communicate with her via Spanish? Has it become her primary language from all the years there?
ReplyDeleteShe speaks Spanish fluently, but we speak to her in English as it is her preferred language with her family. :-)
DeleteMay not always comment but I always enjoy reading and seeing your journey. I'm so very proud of you. Lissa
DeleteThank you, Lissa! I appreciate you taking the time to read and pray for us... that means a lot! About the video, if I remember correctly, my husband spoke in Spanish because it was for a presentation her church in Mexico was putting together and was going to be showing there.
