Home at last

Hi, just wanted to let everyone know that we arrived home last evening. The plane rides home were a bit of a challenge but we made it. The internet was so spotty while we were there and for some reason it wouldn't let anyone post to blogs or facebook after Saturday. Thanks for all of the prayers--I am very glad to be home!

Today's news

Hi everyone,

Thanks for all of the comments-it is very nice to be able to read these while over here! I just lost everything I typed, so here it goes again. I was able to visit with Eyerusalem twice today, and he is such a little cutie. He came to me right away and we played with stickers and books. When I left the first time, he was very upset--but fortunately a Grandma that came along was able to stay and comfort him. I was able to go shopping today in the Merkato and the garment district, which was very busy and somewhat overwhelming. Tomorrow I head to the Southern Region with the group-and we leave at 6 a.m. for our 3.5 hour trek. It will be nice to view more of the countryside. Farewell for now!

In Africa

I don't have long to type--the internet wasn't working earlier so there is a line now :) Getting here was very smooth, and I got to meet our little guy twice today--it was so hard leaving. I cannot wait to go back and see him in the morning. He sat on my lap for a few hours today and we colored for a long time.

The countdown

Two more days....in one aspect I feel like I am doing pretty good with the preparations, on the other hand, it seems like I keep finding little things to take care of that I didn't have on my list! I am still working on the paperwork aspect but it is coming along--the real question is.....how many pay stubs do I need to bring? No one seems to know.....
