After a week in Burkina Faso we need to post a blog as there is so much to tell and show. We have almost 400 pictures from the past several days, way too much to include on a blog. They say a picture is worth a thousand words, and while I believe that to be true, our pictures however still do not truly capture our experience. It is very difficult to describe Africa, and our experiences. So ... Read Full Entry

Wanna trade some snow for your heat??
Hi all! I will repeat myself again and tell you what a blast it is to read your blog!! Last night, at bedtime as we prayed for your family, Julie asked, "Can you show me that picture again with Mr. Cooper and that thing on his head..? ....that was cool!" She of course is refering to the turban Dana wore on the desert trek. Nadine, you are unbelievable....so courageous, really!! I can't imagine sleeping out in the desert under that little blanket! And now, what a great experience you've had at the orphanage...you've got to be mighty proud of your boys! No news here, just the same old stuff. (Speaking of old, Pat turns the big five-oh on Dec 3rd.) This week snow has arrived, and the gang have been awaiting the white stuff, their skiing/boarding equipment was dusted off weeks ago when our only other skiff of snow fell. Opening day at Hidden Valley is a week away...Dec. 5, they anticipate. Thinking of you often...I miss ya Nadine..God bless you and yours, Karen.

Wow!
What an amazing experience! Absolutely, let us know how we could make a donation to the orphanage or sponsor a child. Take care, and keep having fun, Dave and Launi
