Together - at a safe distance :)

So today Jon was able to swap a shift with a colleague and come to Freetown for the weekend! We were very happy to see each other again - although we have to keep a safe distance, which means: no touch! We are having a good time talking through the experiences of our first 10 days here, drinking good coffee, eating good food, and planning our wedding! 

So here's a picture of "happy us"- maybe pushing the distance a little, but still no touch! :)

We'll be going out for dinner this evening (in one of the few places that are still open) with some friends and are hoping to attend church in the morning before Jon leaves again for Lunsar.

Things seem to be getting a little better with the Ebola crisis. We hope that this will continue and that we can soon call this crisis history. 

Much love from both of us - we are grateful for your prayers!

  1. So good to see your smiling faces!! Thanks for what you wrote about fear, Jon. I was blessed by what you shared and could identify with your thoughts, even though my personal fears aren't about getting ebola. I can testify to the "peace that passes all understanding" and am seeking to "not be anxious, but pray with thanksgiving" to Our wonderful God who has all things in His control. We continue to commit you and Helen into His hands! ~Your sis, Shirley
