Hey everyone,
We just wanted to officially let everyone know that, after a lot of thinking, praying and going back and forth, we have decided that it is time for us to come home. There are a lot of reasons for this decision, I won´t go into all of them now, but ever since we made the decision, we have been feeling good about it and we truly think that this is what we needed to do. We gave the school 3 weeks to find replacements, and as of now, we know that they have a replacement for the 2nd graders, although we´re not sure if there is one for the 5th graders yet. This Friday will be our last day at the school. We´re flying home on the 13th of February, and we will be living with Aren´s parents for a little while until we find jobs and an apartment.

We appreciate your continued prayers for us as we make this transition and for the school, that they may find teachers who are right for them.

Leah and Aren

I am also glad to know you are both at peace with the decision. Maybe you will be able to come out and visit us before we leave Des Moines. :) Actually, we are probably coming to MI in March over Joel's spring break, so we will see you then! Sorry we won't be as close anymore next year. :(
