We are on furlough! For four months now we will meet with the people who have joined us in what we do, update them with pictures and stories, meet more people who like what we do, and eat a lot of Chick-Fil-A. And drink a lot of Sonic cherry limeades.And do lots of other American stuff we've been missing out on.
Because we're back.
Back at Heritage Church.
Back with cousin Eliana! Can you believe she's only six weeks older than Zion?!
Back with Pastor Wes. Look at these two men of God and their platters of meat.
Back with Momo.
Back with KK.
I'm back in the kitchen with my sister-in-law, whipping up some yellow curry paste.
Daniel has been reunited with American food.
He was also reunited with his high school graduating class, 20 years on!

| Tyler Wood, Joseph Hurst, and Daniel Rupp. Friends since they had cartoons on their underwear. |
 |
| I, on the other hand, haven't been around as long (though almost). but I still got to be in the pics. |
 |
| He was the handsomest guy there, that's for sure. |
The kids have been reunited with Arkansas wildlife.
BB guns are back in their hands.
As are blow guns (real blow guns with darts, handmade by Cherokee people).
 |
| Bullseye! |
Daniel's hands are back on his bow.
Man and boy alike have had their hands on the hatchet.
And I've had my hand on the salad tongs at Olive Garden!
And in the soil of our own little garden. Look at those cute Arugula sprouts!
Yes, we are back. Back in the land of the free. Back in the land of our forefathers.
Daniel, in particular, is back on the land that his forefathers homesteaded in 1872, whose graves still dot the meadows, and whose fieldstone house foundations still hold shape deep in the woods.
