The end of an era
It’s hard to believe that Judah and Larissa were both smaller than Asher is now when they each came to live in Madagascar. It hasnt really felt that long that we’ve lived beside these neighbours of ours… and now tomorrow Judah’ll get up in the morning and want to play with the girls and there wont be anyone there anymore. Moreover, i’ll have to actually be more intentional about having the ingredients i need for making meals at my own house because i wont be able to sms Rhonda to ask if she’s got what i need. Alas. No one to chat with randomly throughout the day and while we wait for our husbands to get home from the hangar anymore. Our biggest consolation though is that they’re from the same home country as us, which means there’s a good chance that one of these days they’ll hear a knocking at the door and it’ll be Judah again.
Shame.

it was a good era, and hard to believe it’s really over. good idea to take photos together. they are a treasure. well, some more than others.
what fun pictures to have! and pretty good job getting everybody to look at the camera! i’m impressed!
josh and jocelyn, i really feel for you in this huge loss . . . we experienced just a snippet of that with our long-time tenants moving out – but nothing as drastic as friends leaving the country where cultural stress is already so fatiguing. we will pray that God gives your hearts strength and that He allows you to open them again to new, and more, wonderful people.
