Never goodbye but it feels like it......

Ever know people that come into your life and when they leave you know you'll never be the same. Well, John and Corrie Guckenberger and family are that kind of people. Their family left Mexico today to go home to North Carolina for just about a month then head off to Jos, Nigeria to following where God wants them to go. I've been sad for a while now. Last night we had such a great time talking to them about what they mean to us. What a sweet time. Because they are and were so real to so many, so many were able and wanted to be real with them. Even though for some it really hurt. The more I live life the more I realize great things come through pain. Child birth, training for any high physical achievement, obediently following Christ and great friendships. The beautiful night we spent as a staff was a reflection on who John and Corrie are. They are going to be dearly missed in ways we probably can't calculate all at once. As Christians I know you never really say goodbye cause we have a party waiting for us to attend in Heaven some day. However I will miss our dear friends and think of them more than they will ever know. Love you John and Corrie, Sarah, Gus and Sami.
