Sorry Sherry.....I know it's been hard on you. Lots of changes to your life ALL AT ONCE!!
If it makes you feel any better, for the last 9 summers (mostly) Torry (and sometimes Alex) has been in either Australia or Africa! Torry was in Africa for the entire summer last year ~ and is hoping to go again this year. I'm very proud of her and the mission work she is doing but that doesn't make it any less difficult!
