Saying goodbye

Circle time is a time of goodbyes, something we do a lot of here. On Monday we had circle time to say goodbye to Lynsey Bock and Tim Radcliffe. Lynsey and Alan Bock have been with us for about 1 month. Lynsey is a school teacher so she is leaving about 2 weeks before her husband to start school. She has been a blessing to us on station finding many ways to get involved and help out. She is also a great baker, her cinnamon rolls were amazing. You can read more about there time here at http://www.littlebocks.blogspot.com/
Tim is the 3rd oldest child in the Radcliffe family. He got to visit his family for a month after spending the rest of his summer in the Soloman Islands on a mission trip. He and 4 other college students traveled around the Soloman Islands holding youth camps, encouraging the local churches, and sharing Christ's love with the people. After his time in the Solomans, which happens to be a nearby island country, he came to PNG to visit his family. I know the Radcliffes enjoyed having Tim around, as did his station family. He goes back to finish his senior year at Mount Vernon Nazarene University where will finish his degree and pray about the future of graduate school and missions.
