Katie- what a great videographer you have turned out to be. Of course, I don't remember who did the video from last summer but that was a good one too - watching you all stranded on I40!! But what you hae done so far in Namibia is truly a gift from God - for you and for us who are so desperate to see you all! Thank you for the video and the slide show - GO TEAM LEIFDE! All of your faces just glow with the love of Jesus - bless and be blessed precious children of God - you are doing an amazing work. In His Love, grammy duncan

Nice job on the videos! Almost like being there.

Arandis is a special place. Savor every moment everyone, especially those of you who will be leaving your hearts behind for the first time. The families, the children, are all special. Take comfort every day knowing that you accomplished what you set out to do. What many others in this world either have not been blessed or fortunate enough to do, as well as those who simply would not care to take the time to do. And that is sharing your lives on the other side of the world.

Whew, one week. There have been so many updates its hard to find the time in my busy schedule to keep up! Kidding, of course. Patrice- I think I laughed at just about every picture you were in, especially the Physics Test Day shirt. Thanks for the laughs. Bon- I never thought I would, but I am enjoying the book. I'm through 8 chapters now, and should be done this week! Oh and I pitched tonight, we obviously won. The arm could use a nice massage..wishful thinking I guess.

Until next time,
-T

Bonnie and Kerry,
Loved the video and the pictures. Looks like all of you guys are really connecting with the kids. They are all so cute. It just looks really special. Are the ladies going to be in the show as well?
Thanks for all the pictures and video, Katie. Loved the music choice as well.
Erin now has a farmers tan from camp. Ha Ha!
Keep up the good work
Love
Mom

Katie, I love the video! You're doing such a great job! Can I see one of you and Steph tapping? I also love all the new pictures. John pushing the swing and Darin at the playground were also great. Katie it looks like you need a little more sunscreen on your face! Make sure you wear it!

Are Erica and Jackie joining the show?

Darin I miss you like crazy! Love you guys!

Court... Hi love :) We are trying to get Noah down for the night; quite a challenge these days...and of course not helped by the bedroom situation in the house right now!! So I have the laptop and Noah and Brooke in "my" room... we will see how many hours it takes to get everyone asleep and the lights out!! Kids are pretty much all clear at the drs today... Kaylie's ear looked good - Brooke and blake are healthy - now you and Noah can go in the fall and we will be all caught up!! A rained out swim meet ended up the day - phew!! Lots of running.. Grace called the other day and again tonight... I had tried to call her back yesterday but her phone was out.... Shannon asked how you were doing and also Amanda at the drs office.....
Katie - once again the video was AMAZING!!! You are very blessed and gifted... Court - so awesome to see your smiling face loving those little ones (you have had lots of practice with that huh??)... Okay, praying you are in the middle of a blessed nights sleep as I type this, so maybe you will catch it tomorrow night :) Brooke and Noah send their love - Blessings to you all

COURTNEY!! SHOUTS from FL: Christine (Toohey) in Palm Beach, Val Brackman in Debary and Laura in Manning SC.
Thoughts I would share with you if you were here getting a cup of coffee! :)
^Blake swam well last night (before cancellation) - he's strong. You know he'd never write you on the blog but I think he miss you!
^Hummingbird buzzed my door this morning (like a "good morning!" from God) so I hung new water and he likes my hibiscus bush.
^Compost is a bust because racoon gets top off EVERY night! Papa looked at it - another project for him to make the top racoon proof.
^Your room - how I wish floors would be done so you'd have one again! I shall pray for help to drop in from unexpected sources to help mom get her room and study finished.
^Took Noah to Lowes to get a board for Papa - he talkied the WHOLE time and he talked LOUD and all his words sound alike! LOL
^I laugh when I read notes from all the children using beds of dad or sibling. You siblings took camp trunks, put them together, padded them and used them for beds while your bed sat there unused!
^Talked to Christine and she sends her love and prayers (and baby Elli is sooooo cute!)
^Papa and I are buying a new car! Gramma and Boompa bought a Corolla so we are buying their Mercury Sable. I can retire the "grammy mobile" maybe keep it in SC we haven't decided yet.
^It's cloudy today and most nights so I haven't been able to stand under the same stars as you. I hope you have seen the Southern Cross (Mike's blog has a pic of it but I couldn't pick it out-will try again!) and engraved those magnificent heavens on your heart!
Love you, precious one. The dancers and team are all beautiful and the children you are reaching - sooooo precious! Miss you, grammy

Ms. Stephanie-
I LOVED the comment you left me. Though I have to say it sounded a bit like we were dating. i guess thats just how biffles talk now a days. Seems like you're having alot of fun. I've officially been in Florida for about 5 days (wooo) and today is the last day that Chris is working. So, I think tomorrow he is bringing me to a water park- I guess they built a new seaworld park in orlando so he wants to bring me there since he hasnt been before either. I'll take pictures and show them to you when you get home. I called ryan on monday and he just made fun of me the whole time. he didnt show me any love at all- and now i dont want to call him again. I was trying to stay in their lives a little. I'm dreading going back to work because I swear I'll get there and my computer will be taken apart and hidden somewhere.... I wouldn't put it past them. :) I shall try and get back on tomorrow and leave you a message. I only get on the computer about every other day so its hard to keep up. I come back and theres about 5 posts. haha. Much love, and say hi to your mom for me!

Hi Manda,
I enjoyed the video and pictures. Tell Katie thank you, I think she has a career ahead of her in film, she's doing an awesome job. It has been very hot in NH the last two days, in the 90's and very humid. It looks much cooler in Africa.

I would love to pick up each child I see in the pictures and video's and give them each a hug, their little faces are so beautiful. Tell them that they are loved.

Watch out for those mosquito's and remember to take your medicine, (I know, I can't help it I'm your mom). And you my daughter, my princess, I miss you so,so much. My love for you is endless.
Love,
Mommy in Mont Vernon

There were a lot of good moments in the video. They bring back memories. I was touched by the two at the swing.

Jan,

Seeing what everyone is experiencing has been bringing back memories. It is good to see you benefit from the lessons learned from the previous trips !
