we made it

We made it! We are in Dar Es Salamm - nice night's sleep...long flight, only problem, our luggage decided to stay in Nairobi !! well, the giant bag of soccer balls did make it...Oh well, how bad can it be - WE ARE IN FREAKING AFRICA! \

Thanks for the prayers - they helped keep the plane up. We are all well, and warm. Fr. Kurian already looks like he may not want to come back.

Off to Zanzibar tomorrw ? Doesn't even sound real, does it? Hope to have a change of clothes by then.

Peace to all

Bert

Hey - believe it or not I have a raffle question for you. I got your envelope with raffle tix and money. I also had Fr. Kurian's stubs on the desk by themselves. He had given me money, and the stubs.....do you happen to know (or can you ask him) if he took the money back? Thanks! Me

Wings lost 3-2. Darn. You're going to miss the Choir party at the Stepans on the 5th. Can you make a quick run back for it??

All is well here at the homestead. The boys are taking care of ME. Kevin & Steve are camping. Cody fine, stopped eating grain for a day & 1/2. But instant oatmeal w/ maple & brown sugar did the trick. Two more weeks of antibiotics. Adding some yogart- no signs of bowel problems just want to be ahead of the game. So relax, we are doing very well.
