Hello there! If you are new here, you might want to subscribe to the RSS feed for updates on this topic. You may also want to follow me on Twitter.

For the first time in 8 years of going overseas, I stayed back at the hotel because I ate something that really didn’t set well with the rest of my body the day before. I’m sure there’s no need to really go into the details of what that really is like or even looks like but trust me as we say back home… It Ain’t Right. Anne had the same issues and well… It Ain’t Right.

So… I’m here with the rest of the group in our little room we are all blogging in hearing about the day and the adventure they had. Most notably is Pete who felt a little better than me this morning and yet had his worst day ever because he too had something living in his body that needed to come out. From the stories I just heard… this being inside his body took all day to come out. I just saw the video Pete made of part of his day and all I have to say is I’m glad I stayed back. I’m sad I had to miss seeing our Child Survival Program today. I love seeing these mothers and their babies… cute sweet babies!!!

After looking through all of the pictures Keely took today, I know I missed out on an incredible day. I love these people, their culture and their sweet way.

Check these blogs out to see what went on today. Melissa, Angie, Pete, Robin, Shaun, Patricia, Keely. If you haven’t sponsored a child yet, please do. I can’t tell you enough about the impact it has on the life of a child.

Cute

There’s nothing like a good laugh!

The elegance of a mom loving her child

Sometimes the eyes say it all

Getting a clean bath is all relative

Prayer time is relative too

Spence, SO glad your feeling better.

Mike and I leave Saturday for Ethiopia. I have to say I'm a bit nervous … but once in 8 years. I guess those are pretty good odds.

By the way, the photos are spectacular. Are you sure you don't work for National Geographic?

See you soon,
Gail

  Gail! You two are going to have a blast. Just remember a few things. Don’t use the sink water in the bathroom to brush your teeth. Use bottled water. Make sure whatever you eat is cooked well. No salads or anything that has to be washed. If it’s a fruit or vegetable. Eat it only if you peel it… like bananas…
  
  other than that have fun and don’t be shy! you might discover something great to eat!
  
  I can’t wait to read about your trip!
