Dear friends, dear families,

It is time for us to share with you in a few words the plans for the next few months.

For this reason, we plan to return to Switzerland in mid-March.

A time to make the most of

During these months in Switzerland, we will take the opportunity to do different things:

• Melvina will have an operation for a carpal tunnel that has been bothering her for years but has recently become more annoying (6 weeks of recovery after the operation)
• We will have training times: at All Nations in England (April) and a seminar for SIM leaders in Austria (May). The purpose of these trainings is to equip us and develop tools to be good leaders and to know how to take care of a team composed of people from different cultures.
• In June we will participate in a family debriefing camp for missionary families in Interlaken.

Our daily life in Liberia is very intense and with added challenges like Gabriel’s health, tensions in the team, frequent power cuts and therefore short nights, disappointments with Liberian friends,… we have reached a stage of exhaustion that we should not underestimate.

So we also plan to simply recharge our batteries!

We thank God. Despite the challenges, He is watching over our passion and motivation to accomplish our mission!

With our affection.
Melvina, Nicolas, Théotime, Siméon, Gabriel and Caleb
