Heard from Liz, they are back to Choma with some great things coming before she comes home on Tuesday:
Just wanted to let you know that we just arrive back from Simwaanda this morning and are slowly recovering from a busy day in the village!
We did however successfully start three savings groups in the village! The people here have been amazing- and I have a Zambian family who wanted me top tell my US parents that they say hi and will miss me terribly :)
...life in the bush is so simple, yet so incredible! This trip has probably been the hardest thing I have experienced in awhile but God is SO faithful and has been so incredible at reminding me of His presence.
We are planning on visiting the savings and loan groups that were started last year and are thriving on Friday in Simaubi, and will be traveling to Livingstone to go to a game park and to Victoria Falls on Saturday! We leave fopr Lusaka on Sunday and will fly out on Monday to Johannesburg and then NY, to dulles, and finally I will be at RDU!
See you in ONE week!

It was great to hear from Liz again. Looking forward to hearing her voice and giving her a great big hug. We had Liz's cousin and friend come down to visit us over the holiday weekend, as Abby put it, "Just isn't the same without Liz here".
So what am I doing up so early / late? Well, my head hurt ... have some sort of infection under my scalp and it woke me up, did hot compresses and took 800mg Motrin, throbbing has ceased, so I'm going back to bed. Don't have to tell any of you that I need my beauty sleep! Bek graduates from high school June 12th (only 9 days away!). Lucie and I go to her college orientation on the 27th and 28th ... She starts in mid-August, and she is already ordering her sheet sets and the like. Both she and Rachel have been house sitting / dog watching this week. No more little girls! Pray for us, this is a real season of change, and we'll need guidance, peace and strength through it all.

Wow...a big change indeed. Just thinking about becoming an empty-nester has my eyes watering even now. I'll pray for you and dear Lucie as you enter this new season.
Hugs from the Boisverts.
Gerry your girls are all growing up and turning into beautiful young women, you and Lucie have done a great job. Most of me right now wants to see my girls stay sweet & little, but it's also neat seeing them grow up and develop fun and interesting little personalities and to eventually see what God has in store for them and us. Parenthood is def. bittersweet that way:) Would love to see you guys sometime this summer, we need to make it happen! :)
