Ferdinand is Back!

Last night Dan texted me to let me know he had contacted Ferdinand. Ferdinand arrived back at Shadi last night. Today, Dan went out to Tumaini to take the meat for their evening  meal, take care of the children's medical needs and to meet with Ferdinand. I probably won't see Ferdinand until Saturday, but I'm looking forward to hearing how his vacation with his family went. I also would have loved to see how the children responded when they saw that he was home. I'm sure they were thrilled.
