Welcome Gunner

We lost all 3 of our dogs over the last year due to old age and sickness. Arriving back home in Botswana, we were missing our fur babies and adopted a Labrador/Golden retriever mix name Gunner (Go Arsenal Gunners!). He has just been the best dog and brought so much joy and he is trying desperately to be friends with the cats 







 

Happy Independence Day 🇧🇼

September 30 is Botswana’s Independence Day and this year marked 60 years of Independence. On that same day, Taylor carried the Botswana Flag for Convocation at Liberty University. We love the country the Lord has called us to 🇧🇼

Home 🇧🇼

We received such a warm welcome back home to Botswana. We have had so much fun reconnecting with friends, ministry partners, our animals, and Ellie is back in school. 


Meeting a new cat Gabby who joined our home during our absence-so snuggly and sweet

Amelia was happy to see us despite all the evil looks she gives us from leaving her for a year 😂

Ellie reunited with her best friend Jesse ❤️


Kids we so excited to see us 

Ellie is back at school with her classmates…back to uniform wearing 🎉


 

Traveling home to Botswana

After an unfortunate delay with Ellie’s passport, 10 days later we were on our way back home to Botswana. We had a 13 hour layover in London so decided to explore a bit. 

Here we go ✈️ 

Ellie has always loved mannequins
