Preparations

     Tons of stuff to do before we leave. Initially, our departure date was 1/15/11; now, due to airline issues, it looks like it could be moved back a couple of days (maybe leaving 1/13?).

He and his family operate a small orphanage; amazing work. We're accumulating things to take with us - knitted and crocheted items for the village, a laptop for Abu, several clergy shirts for the pastors. We 're also hoping to take supplies for the school in the village. As soon as I figure out how to add pictures to these posts, I'll give you a flavor of what we're going to see there.

     Hope y'all get a ton of don't get much snow while we're gone....... (snarky comment alert)
