Heading to Mali

I have trouble getting the pics in the order that I want, especially when I throw a bunch together like this. The top one could be the kind of plane that the MacLanes rode across the big pond to get to Mali, West Africa. (Probably not, but I couldn't get a shot of the plane as it was leaving.) And if I hadn't told you, would you really know the difference? The next one is Dawson looking cool in Pat's sunglasses as we leave the park. He played outside the baseball field rather than on the swings and slides that were in the hot sun. The 3rd shot shows Brett, Sheri and Kenan trying to get the bags checked, and the next one shows them strategizing for flight. Next we see two grandmas getting their security passes to see the family off, and below that one, we see the missionary couple right before leaving us. The next two are of Dawson in the McDonald's play area, inside a car. Next we have Brett and Sheri performing the double human pretzel on the couch. I was privileged to ride in the van with on the same seat as Sheri and Kenan, so you see those pics. Please pray for them as they continue to adjust to the new culture, time zone and weather. We will surely miss them, but we know they are doing the work that God has for them to do.
