What a trip! This is my 5th time to Liberia and each time I go back I find my heart falling more in love with the country but mainly the people. Slowly the country is making improvements and the broken pieces from 12 years of war are getting glued back together.
The main reasons for us taking this trip was for Greg's family to finally meet Hailey and also for us to see Becca T.

We've been in the US for two months already? Crazy right!
Our time home has been such a blessing. In the past three years of being on the Africa Mercy whenever I have been home it has been like a sprint to see friends, family, to fundraise, and update churches. This time home is more like a marathon. I/we have been able to spend quality time with friends, Becca T.
