Lewis and Melody,
It was AWESOME to see you again (Lewis) and meet you (Melody)this morning at NorthStar in Fayetteville! You are the same leader I knew at the Phi Delta Theta house at the U of A.
I am so excited and inspired by your commitment to move to Africa and serve there. Those children don't know what a blessing is on their way.
I will be praying for you and your awesome family and also about the possibility of coming to serve there with you.
All God's richest blessings to you during this special journey.
