Goodbye Miltons

Today our dear friends, the Miltons, will be leaving Kenya.  They worked for three years with Eastern Mennonite Missions (EMM) and are our close friends.  Matt knew the Miltons from his time with Nate at Eastern.  God truly blessed us by placing them here as we adjusted to life abroad.  Having friends our age, people who were from similar backgrounds and generally wonderful people nearby was a joy making the hard times brighter and the good times better.  They regularly opened their house to us and we especially enjoyed mooching meals from them.  As a way of reciprocating, we'd also eat any leftovers they had which they wanted to get rid of, so it was a mutual relationship or sorts.  Surely, the Miltons will be missed and we pray blessings on Nate, Jill and Rielle as they travel home.
