I am an overseas worker with SIM and have served in three African countries–Liberia, Benin, and most recently (17 years) in Niger. We moved back to the States last summer b/c of our kids education. We are now working remotely from Northwest AR. My husband is a translator and I am a social worker. We are adoptive parents and I have worked in adoptions helping about a dozen families to adopt internationally. The past two years I have worked in trauma healing. In the midst of a huge transition and clinging tightly to who I am in Christ as we grieve the losses–this move has been hard.

Hi Linda, I am currently living in Du Quoin, IL but am moving to Uganda in April with my husband. I used to travel to Arkansas quite a bit with Walmart portrait company, so I might be familiar with where you are located.
