No more complaining I resolve not to complain for the next 24 hours at least! It takes a special person to deal with those kind of annoyances and keep from losing it! I guess you learn to be very flexible...thanks for the update....love reading the blog. If you ever want a taste of Hill Country, Texas life check out our blog....montexans.blogspot.com :)
Great Work !!! Hi John and Angie,
It is a great work you'll are doing. I know it is a great sacrifice you are making by going to Africa, but it will be something you will always remember and there will be much work for Christ's Church.
I have signed up for the blog. Juretta was sending it to me, but she will not have to now.
Love you'll
Angie: Would you do me a favor? How about taking those different parts and getting "pithy and concise and make a series out of those "different" days and send then to me. Lots of folks don't have computers. I know that is hard to believe but it is true and I got to believe a lot of them would be wildly interested in the difference in your "African" days vs their American days. Think about it. If you will condense them I will publish them and send the NL's to you via snail mail. Wonderful stuff!! Thank you so much. You are a terrific story teller and a great wordsmith. Love you like air girl. See you in a couple of weeks. just ken
The LONG days The ACSOP is a beautiful facility....well-equipped and so clean and well-maintained. Loved the picture of John 'pontificating' in class :-) I must say, if those babies get any bigger, you'll have to get a hoist to get them out of the buckets in the sink. I'm so proud of all of you and your flexibility and adaptability living in a foreign land. We are really spoiled folks here in America, aren't we? I'll be there soon to swing those cuties on their new swing!!!! We'll let you go shopping on your own while I babysit, and then see how long it takes you to get all your chores done :-) Thanks for the informative new blog. We are 20+ days and counting!!!! Love you Grammy
Publisher's Quality Wow! The pictures you took are of great quality. I imagined for a moment that I was looking at a National Geographic magazine. You all are seeing God's beautiful creation and making it possible for the rest of us to see it too. I will continue to pray for you journey. Love you all, Katie B
Where's the chicken nuggets? Lunch didn't look like it included the requisite chicken nuggets, fries, and catsup.... wasn't there a Burger King in the park? With view and sights like you all saw, I don't guess anyone missed the 'fast food'. What fun times you are having ! Save some of the fun for when Grammy, Uncle Andy, and Aunt Kathryn come. Your pictures show that God certainly did make a beautiful world for us to enjoy. Love you to Mt. Meru and back! Grammy
Thanks for including us! Baker's! Thanks so much for including us in your mission work and life in Africa! I love seeing pictures of the christians there and also of your family. You are always in our prayers as are the people that you are teaching. Thanks again! (I love to get online Sunday night to read the newsletter and love when you add a blog!

Progress It's great seeing the church building that Daniel and Abby helped build :-) From the pictures of Sunday's worship, looks like it won't be finished a moment too soon. You all looked very 'close' in the rented room. I can't wait to be there....Aunt Kathryn says its 89 days!!! and I AM counting.
You have to stay there long enough for me to visit!!! I love checking out the web page and John's weekly updates. Keep 'em coming!!! Love you all - Amy
hey:) hi, Bakers! i m a 18-year-old chinese girl studying in Singapore. I love your blog! because i can view your marvellous pictures and learn English at the same time! You must be a very happy family!! Glad to know you:)
I want to come to your new house! The mini vacation looks like it was wonderful! I'm like Daniel and Abby...I really like your new house (lots of beds for company :-) You are making precious memories for yourselves and those beautiful children. Since you are such terrific parents, I don't guess I'll sue for custody after all :-)
hooray! You can let pictures speak for you any old time! These are terrific and show a glimpse of the wonderful experiences you are having. Abby and Daniel have definitely expanded their horizons...and their circle of friends. Prisca is beautiful and Geo looks like a good buddy. I miss you so much, but I love getting to share your new life through pictures. Daniel...shorts and a jacket? What gives?
I say, FINALLY! Gorgeous pictures of some pretty precious people....my Daniel and Abby!! I know the moving in was hard work for everyone, but it looks like some still managed to find time to smile for the camera! Where were you when the camera was being flashed, Angie?
I miss you all, but love your new home. Abby looks almost grown :-(
Good Neighbors SOOOO glad you all are here ... for all of you out there reading this .. John, Angie, Daniel and Abby are the best of neighbors and we are thrilled they are here with us!!
Wow, what an experience! John and Angie:
We are thrilled with the pictures and the narrative. What a great experience!
The kids will come to find the animals as part of the landscape. When they get back to the USA, Daniel may say "Where are the animals?"
We're glad that they, and you, get to experience this lifetime adventure.
I can't wait to come join you for a few days.
Love,
Dad
