When we moved to Baton Rouge, Karen reached out to me in a big way and made me feel welcome at South. Since we moved to Baton Rouge 3 years ago and now that we are on the mission field they have always been a huge encouragement to us. Eddie and Karen were missionaries in the Czhek Republic for 10 years, and they have been there to talk to us about many of our goals as well as our fears.
Tuesday night before we left, Eddie sent me a message asking when we were going to be at the airport. I didn't respond to it until after 10 and knowing that Eddie goes to bed early, I didn't think we would see him, but he got to the airport before we did. He knew how special that day was for us, and he wanted to be a part of it with us. While we were checking our bags, he took Haley to a store and ended up buying Haley a little monkey to go along with her big monkey. Haley first named it BABY, but she has since decided to name it after the person that gave it to her, Eddie.
As I have said before, we are grateful for the people God has put into our lives all over the world.
