Thank you

A huge thank you to all who were in involved in the Music/Dessert Fundraiser on Sunday night. Thank you to all who donated desserts, who helped set up and clean up, to the Ong's for the music, to Mish for her words of wisdom and prayer, to Tami for organizing the whole thing and to all who so generously donated financially. It was a great evening and it went so well. We were thrilled!

Two weeks today we leave. Gary was just now busy setting up skype so that we can call home and talk to Mom and Dad and hopefully we will have video feed as well. Gary has been gathering medicines and medical equipment to take along. I keep expecting him to tell me soon that I am only allowed to bring one change of clothes!

We are still in the "gathering" stage and even tho I have set out all the suitcases, I haven't put a whole lot in them yet. I seem to be so busy with the day to day things here at home that there is no time for "extras". We've been trying to pull in garden produce and the kids pulled up all my flowers in pots today. Trying to get all the fall "to do" list done, because you never know if there will be a foot of snow waiting for us when we come home or not.

I was teasing Adam that if he didn't get his hair cut before we go, he might come home with one of those Waorani Amazon cuts and plugs in his ear lobes too! Brett thought he'd take the chance, but Adam opted for a haircut here.

THanks again to everyone who has donated materials, supplies and finances. We will endeavour to be good stewards!
