Please pray for peace and healing for Tammy’s mom, and energy and travel mercies for Tammy. During our time in America we weren’t able to connect with Andrew and Jess as often as we would have liked, but have talked to them since our return to England. Jess is both excited about her upcoming graduation (23 rd May) and a bit stressed as she is now in the process of completing her first post-doctoral job applications. Andrew’s work hours vary from week to week, but we’re happy that he’s been able to arrange time off to travel to San Diego to be with Jess when she graduates. We are also grateful that our friends Ona, Ruth, Rachel, Jake and little Amelia will be there as ‘family’. Thanks for all your love and support!
