How wonderful! Kristin - these pictures are so great and you're narration is very capturing....you should think about becoming a writer! Looks like you guys had a wonderful time, I'm long overdue to go and I think it will be very soon. Sophie looks like she's having the time of her life.
blessings upon you Wow what an experience. I am so glad you are safe. I have never been close to such an event I am so glad God previously prepared you for such emergencies by havig three kids. How was Congo???
I am in the last day of my India trip and will be in Addis about 6:00am friday on the way to Laska Zambia. I look forward to comparing notes when we are both stateside.
Take good care!!!

All I can say is WOW Oh my gosh Kris, what you have gone thru! How scarey it must of been for you with the accident. I am praying for a safe return for you and hope your health is okay and will also say some prayers for your friend Lauren. It sure was interesting hearing about you helping these people out and it must feel wonderful knowing that you can make a difference in someones life!
Keep your spirits up - I know you will and will also make the most of this adventure.

Love the updates... So happy you are able to update your blog! Love reading your entries and a great way for you to journal your trip. Reading about the girls and how little they all have (at least as far as basic needs go) makes me appreciate life here so much more! We are all very lucky in comparison for all that we have access to.
Yes, it's freezing here (even by my standards). It's up to -7 right now...balmy compared to this weekend! The other posts are correct...Francy is borderline mullet and he seems to like it (scary).
Be safe over there!!!!!
Hi Kristin,
Got caught up on all of your blogging, thanks for keeping us posted. Sounds like your doing a lot of good and having quite an adventure over there. Glad to hear you are safe as well. You are missing some of the most butt kicking cold weather I have ever experienced! Sub-Zero plus wind chill ... I think I got a break with the winter up here last year.
I am so HAPPY! It has been great to read about your travels. It's Sunday, about 5:00 p.m. and the temperature this a.m. was -14. At around 1:00 p.m. the temperature had risen to -12. Not many are moving today. Sophie was at dance yesterday and was very happy. The girls did great. She was also at dance on Thursday. Eddie picked up the girls and John brought them home. I am very happy that all appears to be going well. PLEASE take care!!! When you get home we will have a dinner to hear all about your adventure. Kristin, how I admire what you are doing and the help that you have brought!! Take care and thank you for your comments. You inspire us all!! Jean Nelson and Family!
We're thinking of you We had our staff meeting and were talking about you and your journey. We are glad you are safe in Ethiopia and we await your next entry. On another note, Patrick has decided to either get a haircut this weekend or let his hair grow into a true mullet.
Stay safe and God bless.
Winter in MT 45 degrees today, snow tommorrow, -3 for Friday night and 45 by Sunday, now this is more like MT winter in Great Falls.
Hope all is well there. Would love some coffee beans direct from the source, now that you have room in your luggage. LOL

Barking Dogs Your entries each day reveal your passion for this Mission Trip and Africa, seems you're 'living the dream' as they say at Disney! You're missing out - Minneapolis forecast is snow Friday day and evening then 16 below Saturday night. Regarding the dogs, maybe add an Ambien (or two Martinis) along with wearing the earplugs tonight. Take care and don't lose sight of your pin money.
Hey crazy Finally got to read your blogs. I knew from LeeAnn you were good. Sounds like your trip has already been tremendously rewarding- what a hands on education. Can't wait to hear more! Travel safe!

Missing sophie and tobey as well Hello!
So happy to hear from you. You are the first to respond. Glad to hear that things are going well. Thank you for all your help in my absence! Tell Sophie I love her and give Tobey a kiss for me!
Hope your are well! Kristin Day, it is Wednesday, February 6, 2008. I hope that your trip over was comfortable and that all is going well. I am excited to hear about your travels to date. The Nelson's are thinking of you! Blog soon! Take Care!
P.S. The girls had a great practice yesterday and Toby was great, but all are missing you!!
In the past few years I've jumped out of an airplane, jumped off of a 30' waterfall and saw the inside of an Ethiopian hospital last year I decided it was time for a new adventure. So I'm leaving for Bali on March 30th and then onto the Gili Islands! Nothing but sun, sand and fun! ... full info
