Decy and the girls are somewhere over the Indian Ocean right now. I expect them to land in Singapore in about 5 hours. Its been a tough day for me ... emotionally, as well as trying to work from home.

On Friday, Decy received a phone call from the Indonesian Embassador to Namibia.  He wanted to wish her the best and advised he would contact us the next time he is in Jakarta.  Decy touched so many lives here ... from the highest levels of society (Indonesia is the 4th largest country in the world) to the most basic levels.  She is a beautiful woman, inside and out.

As for me, I'm hanging in there. I feel so empty; so incomplete without Decy.  She is my love, she is my life.

I have worked about 10 hours today (Sunday) on a major company issue.  I really want to be with Decy and the girls, helping them through this transition/change, sharing in their thoughts and feels.  Sadly, I am stuck here in Angola, trying to complete my work ... and already I am struggling with focus.

Back in May, I had to take a decision .... either send Decy and the girls early (to minimize distruption to schooling) or have them wait for me ...and risk the girls missing a month of school.  I chose to send everybody early.  I pray that was the correct decision .... time will tell.

Please continue praying for us.  For those of you who have never experienced international relocations, and (as in this case) the associated challenges of a "mixed marriage" you cannot imagine how challenging this is, logistically, emotionally, and physically.

Thank you. Bill
