Flying out Today!

Here we go!

I wish you were coming with us!

I have received many emails and telephone calls about our latest chapter in the sustainable children's home project.

Brendan (my 8 year old son) and I are running around doing last minute things and packing mosquito repellent, sunscreen and sunglasses etc . He hasn't been back to Hispaniola, where he spent half of his life for... the last 4 years, other half of his life... That's funny... maybe just to me. Anyway, he is looking forward to eating sugar cane and helping the children. He wrote letters and telephoned relatives to raise money for his part of the trip. Yes I am proud of him. Naomi is in camp this week and Noelle isn't ready yet.



Ok... on with the details.


We fly Delta from Portland to Puerto Plata departing at 11:25 pm and arriving at 2:04 pm tomorrow. We have lodging and meals already lined up in Puerto Plata. The first 3 or 4 days will be spent working out a lease/option for the perspective children's home location. The remainder of the time will be spent in various locations between POP, Sosua, Cabarete and Santiago. We will be meeting with friends and local missionaries.
