We are reminded again of how blessed we are to be surrounded and supported by such a fabulous group of people.  Thank you for your prayers for us, thank you for your support for our ministry, and a massive thank you for the outpouring of love and comfort we received in this last month with the passing of Dan’s mom to heaven.

There are a lot of unknowns as we face 2024:
– when will we finally get Dan’s PR??
– how long will it take to get Janell, Miesha and Titus’s travel documents in place?
– we’ve been gone from Bethlehem a long time now, what open doors will we find when we return?

What we know for absolute certain:
 – God is good and He has perfect timing!
 – Dan and I still choose each other and are committed to building the healthiest possible relationship.
 – We still love Africa and desire to return.
 – While we are here, we are enjoying connecting with you all.

We will be in Seattle much of January as we help Dan’s father recover from colon cancer surgery, but plan to have a few more trips to Portland to see more of you after that.

Blessings and joy to you all as we step into 2024 with HOPE. 

Love, Hartleys
