We are off

January 24th, we take off for Sierra Leone. “We” is Ami, Chris, and Trish. We are excited and, as usual, a little nervous. This is Ami’s first trip, and will have many totally new experiences.
For Chris and me, we still get a little edgy - although this will be our 7th trip, there is still so much to learn. Every trip has included “drama” of one sort or another, and this one is not likely to be an exception. In the past, the drama has ranged from misunderstandings with minor government officials (which had significant effects) to car wrecks (which provided us with some learnings, but no real problems).
We hope that you will continue to send us your good thoughts and prayers. We need wisdom, humor, patience, and endurance. Tolerance of heat and resistance to mosquitos are also important!
Thanks to all of you whose gifts have been this trip possible. I’ll update this blog when I can, and will send a report upon our return.
