I'm out.

Dan and I knew that we would be terrible at writing those update letters every month. Many missionaries struggle with them because it's hard to communicate everything in a short but sweet one page letter; a letter that someone would actually want to sit down and read. We decided it would be best (and more fun) to have a blog with weekly postings of our lives ministering over seas. It was so much easier to share the little details, the things that matter.

I have loved this blog. When we started it back in 2007, I never thought it would mean so much to me. It began as a place for Dan and I to share our struggles and joys of serving in Malawi with ABC. We wanted our supporters, family and friends to be able to see that we are okay. But because of this blog, I feel like many of you were right there with us during very lonely and trying times. We managed to feel close even though we were so far away.

Now that we are back, we no longer have a use for this blog. Our job was accomplished for lack of a better word. However, this is certainly not the end of the Robbins being abroad. We simply have a little pit stop in St. Louis while Dan goes through seminary. We are sure that God is calling us to ministry and missions far away. We don't know where yet, but we are thankful for the next four years to figure that out.

I just want to officially thank everyone for the support and generosity that was shown through this blog. If you are still interested in what we are doing in St. Louis and beyond, you are more than welcome to follow us here.
