I have not forgotten you nor have I forgotten how to write. I have been very busy since my return getting through jet lag and then 100 boxes that came in from the States. Also, I have been visiting people that we help and taking people to see doctors. Every time I sit down to write the thought comes to mind from the Bible about blowing you own horn. I believe this disturbs Dale even more than it does me. He is so set on giving God the glory and not bragging he may go overboard. It is not the easiest thing I have to do but I have made peace with that as I know that you that support us want to know about us and the work here. We are both well and enjoying the Spring days that come. It has been really cool here lately just like it was there before I left but we do have some really nice days or parts of days. We still have some heat so that explains it better than my words.
Remember there will be a clothing give away this Saturday April 25, 2009 from 8:00 – 12:00 at the Cedar Lane building. If you would like to donate items please bring CLEAN clothing items for ALL AGES, folded or on hangers, to the Clothing Room during the week..

Contact persons for questions are Tom or Linda Clark and Frances Davison.
