Goodbye Shell

Well, this is it from Shell. It's a wonderful rainy night, and I'm looking forward to going to sleep with the rain pounding on the roof. It's been an amazing journey, and none of us would trade any of it for the world. We learned and grown in many ways. The next months are an unknown for us, but looking back over the last six years, we know that to follow the Lord one step at a time is enough. Thank you to all who have supported us prayerfully and have given to MAF on our behalf. We can't do it without you, and we are blessed to have consistent team.

Our last dinner at El Jardine was great, and we'll miss that. After dinner we went to Chad's and Andi's to watch the last part of American Idol. We still hadn't seen that, and didn't know who had won. Andi had taped it, but the tape was bad, so we didn't see the last part of the show. Of course we got on the Internet and figured it out very quickly. Chad and Andi are taking Lou the beagle, so we got to see her in a new environment, and say our goodbye to her tonight. Sad times here, mixed with anticipation and excitement as we look to the next step of our journey.
