RHCC VISITORS!! Some great friends, Beth Plemons and Kelly Christian, arrived in Benin last night for a one week visit! We are so excited to have them here. Kelly and Tori went to Cotonou to pick them up....KV, KC and BP are all staying out in our guestroom together....doubt they'll get much sleep this week! It's always good to have visitors from our home church, but these are dear friends who have supported us and encouraged us for so many years. AND they brought our repaired laptop back to us (thanks M/S and sSc for the help!!) Hopefully this will also mean alot more regular blogging and tons of pictures from the past month!! PLUS, Daddy Boot Camp starts on Wednesday when these ladies head to the beach for a much-needed retreat....so we'll have lots of DBC pics as well. Today, I was "talking" to Timo about doing his chore...his one and only chore....taking dirty clothes from our bathroom to the laundry room....and I was practicing my "encouraging" Camp Director tone of voice....and I said, "at Daddy Boot Camp, you get stickers if you do your chore without me asking and you get stickers taken away if you don't"....to which he looked at me and said, "Daddy, I don't like Daddy Boot Camp. It not good!!" His facial frustration was priceless! Can't wait!!!

I'm glad Kelly & Beth arrived safely, and that you will have a great time sharing the next few days. Seeing all of you here on your blog helps me not to be so lonesome here in Bedford, England. I will be going home to Texas on Wednesday (5/10) and am so ready to see my family again. Love you, Don

How great it is to see K/B there with you all!! It's always a special time to see visitors in Benin encouraging you all. Have a super week and we will try to check in with Ryan and Darrell ever so often to make sure they have everything under control on this end. Love you all. Great to have you back online again.
