"You've Got Mail"

     While packing up my suitcases to move on to my 4th and final house in Ethiopia, I came across each and every card and letter that has been sent my way during the past year. O-N-E   H-U-N-D-R-E-D cards and letters. I knew my stack continued to grow, but this was the 1st time I had actually counted the sweet notes from you all back in the states. When I reached the triple digits I was overwhelmed. You all are so much of what keeps me going strong when times get tough. And those cards and letters... That's only the mail that came across the ocean. That's not counting the countless messages, care packages, e-mails, and texts I have gotten. Then there are the prayers that were sent up on my behalf... All I can say is THANK YOU; you all are the most amazing support.

     I have a slight fear that the Ethiopian postal service will not know what to do once my constant flow of mail coming and going draws to a close. Hopefully the whole economic system of Ethiopia does not come crashing down. :)
