Hi, all!
I'm thinking that you're probably in Jo-berg by now and almost ready to hit the ground running! I'm praying for you, Matt, Steph, Erica, and Pam. It's hot and humid here and I'm envying you the clear and cool night sky of Namibia. Pam, I know that God is smoothing the way, and I'm especially praying for His gentleness with the unexpected for you! Matt and Steph, you know how much we miss you here -- give each other a "Mamma T" hug! Mike says: "I love you guys. I miss you guys. I'm getting my tatoo on Saturday. Obama rules! ...and Christina and Molly are already going insane missing you!" I'm trying to listen to the Lord about how to pray for you ... let me know if He tells you first!
Much love, Cathy T.

from mom:

from dad:
did you get a good backpack, have you lost it yet? and did your iPod charger get confiscated? we're getting ready to finally beat dylan at poker. and finally: what does a cow have 4 of that a women has 2 of?

answer: Legs

and stay safe, have fun, and make a connection with kids. we love you.

Doll,
it is 5:20 am in Dubai.... you have left and now we pray you safe on your flight to Johannesberg. Ryan enjoyed his birthday and got some cool stuff. I told him the celtics sweatshirt and redsox hat were from you...needless to say they are his favorites! We just tucked him into bed in your bed. He wants to know who Donnie Darko is? and why your friends draw such scary? pictures. LOL!
I miss you baby girl...my chest still hurts. You are almost to Africa and that's when the real fun begins! You have such a wonderful trip ahead of you. I will take it one day at a time on this end....
the "circle of life" is more important than you think, where you are going... contribute to that "circle" as best you can. you make me proud...my best and prayers to your team. I love you doll! MEAN IT!

Hey Babe,
Hope the flights and layover in Dubacious were as enjoyable as can be. SSDD here, picked up a bunch of hours at other Walgreens to help pay for the plane ticket to NY for my cousins wedding. Watching the Red Sox get owned by Tampa Bay right now and it's quite fun. Can't wait for your reply and your return.
With Love,
Dom

Courtney - can't figure where you are, and when you get there don't know how you'll get where you are going.....but what fun this afternoon was etalking all afternoon! Kaylie took a good nap and tears stopped, Noah went outside and temper stopped, and I guess Brooke did some cleaning! Blake and mom went to church meeting - Nathan gave his notice - he and wife are moving to church in Wilmington I think. So life goes on and we now go to sleep and continue to pray around the clock for your safety, joy, love, and rest whenever possible but not instead of an experience God wants you to have. Don't miss a moment that He already has planned for you and the children you will touch with your talent and love of dance and children and Jesus. Be sweet, keep your eyes on the Cross of Him who loves us all more than we can imagine. Share that love and let us know when you get where you are going! Love and prayers for the team...grammy duncan

yay for hot towels :)
However, in Dubai, I think I'd prefer a cold towel!

When we awake in the morning you will be on the last leg of your journey to Namibia.... We are thankful for your safe travels thus far and ever grateful for the God that holds you in his hands and walks beside you as you travel. May you all arrive refreshed and ready to begin the awesome work ahead of you. Our thoughts and prayers are with you all.

Courtney - thank you for the wonderful "chat" this afternoon. God is so awesome to be doing such a work in you and I needed that reminder on a tough day here at home! Noah and Kaylie and Brookie are lost without you.... Blake is... well, he is Blake so who knows what he is thinking! He and DL are going to hang out and go riding tomorrow (IF he finishes his chores :) Me, well..... I just miss you - we will have lots of hugs to make up for when you get home!!

Love and Blessings to you all
Mom
