The Copeland Ramblings/

Let the Travelling Commence!

I thought that it’d be a long time before I was boarding another
airplane, but here we are again. We have been here in Guinea for
almost three months now. It’s difficult to leave after that amount of
time because we feel like we are just getting started and at the same
time enough time has passed that we are really beginning to form
strong relationships with our Guinean friends and neighbours. It’s
been tough to get the house ready for our departure so soon after
getting everything unpacked. Thankfully, we didn’t have to pack
everything for a big move, but just to protect it from the dust. Most
of our belongings will just be covered with a blanket. We had a ‘thank
you’ dinner on Wednesday for all of our friends who have been so
welcoming and so helpful. We will put up some pics and video of that
next week when we are settled into the land of good internet! The fact
that we are returning soon has definitely made this an easier time of
change. We’ve made sure Canaan understands that we are just going for
a visit and then coming home to his ‘Africa house’ as he calls it. His
bed is here and his toys are here which helps affirm to him that this
is indeed home. He’s happily accepted all of this and is doing quite
well, a little emotional at times but that is to be expected. We leave
at 2:40pm PST and will arrive Saturday afternoon in Los Angeles. I
will try to send twitter and facebook updates while we are travelling
so keep an eye on that.

Thank you all for your support, love and encouragement. We are excited
to represent you in Guinea and can’t wait to come back to continue the
work that God has given us. Thank you for being a part of reaching the
people of Guinea for Jesus Christ.
