Mission Send-off

Tonight at church services I was graciously treated to a "Mission Send-off Celebration!"  I nearly fainted!  

The kindest words were spoken!  The dearest songs were sung!  Prayers!  Presentations!  Hugs all around!  Goodies!

Thank you with all heart!

Why Am I Going to Africa?

Jim and Jenene Marnach have been going to Swaziland for several years now.  They work on the macadamia nut trees that African Christian College has for making money for the school.  They work with the students and other workers on the campus.  (Jenene and I have been friends since we were teenagers at the Church of Christ in Nampa, Idaho.)  

I am going to teach English As a Second Language to the college students and their wives.  I will be there teaching for two months.

  

About To Leave For the Airport

It is about two hours until plane time!  I am about to leave Los Angeles for two months in Africa!

The Adventure Begins

Tonight is the night I leave on my great adventure!
