Hello Everyone,

It has been awhile since we visited you here but we are back and ready to embark again on a great adventure to Africa.  This time we are headed to South Africa where our youngest daughter,Holly, and our entrepreneurial son-in-law, Will Gruver, have set up a branch office in Johannesburg to further their help to the people of this third world country.  South Africa is the meca for industry throughout Africa and this is a huge transition for them, as they sold their home and moved to a lovely Scottish estate, Blair Atholl, in the hills outside of Johannesburg facing the mountains. We will be meeting them in Cape Town and traveling the area and then going back to Johannesburg. We leave tomorrow and will be in McKinney, Texas with our oldest daughter Stacy and her husband, Gabriel Rios, helping in the US office branch. We are excited to be with them and our three grandchildren, Shaina, Shelby, and Greyson through the holidays and boarding the plane for Africa from there on FEB 4th lift off to SA., where we reunite with our other four grandchildren, Claire, Lex, Tommy, and Saili. Can you grandparents just imagine having all your grandchildren so far away from you? Well, it is not easy!!
Please keep us in your prayers - Love Les and Shann
