Arrived in Zimbabwe!


Everyone arrived safe and sound in Zimbabwe earlier today (though a couple suitcases are coming later).

Right now we’re at the hotel in Mutare, where we just finished a very nice dinner. The hotel has only one dial-up connection, so I’m writing for everyone.

Tomorrow we’ll tour Africa University, so I expect others will be able to write something too at that time.

For Brenda Matson,
Hi Mom! So glad you have all arrived safely. Still can’t believe you are half way around the world. Everyone is doing fine here…Duke too. We’ve had a couple of really nice days here. DJ let Fritz out Sunday and he didn’t come home for me today so he’s loving the weather. Logan has helped us rake lots of leaves. We love you and are so proud of you.
Hugs & Kisses!
Heather, John & Logan

Susie Neff,
I’m still excited for you……I trust God is working in wonderful ways, and i hope it’s not your luggage that is lost (nor JaneEllen’s), unless you or she can deal with the loss better than whoever’s is lost…I’ve emailing Bethe and Antheny. Great new WISE group (9)!!
Hugs to you (share with JaneEllen)
Blessings-Dar

To Jane Ellen; Had my eye surgery today, so far everything looks good. Doc. said that things went well. Get eye patch off Fri. and should be good to go. Nice day here today and could not go for a ride, they say it may be the last one. Spring is just around the corner. Love Chuck.

To Jane Ellen, today is Fri. saw the Doc. He said everything is good. Eye will clear up in a couple of days. It feels good to see again. i hope your having a good time. Love Chuck.

To Jane Ellen; Sorry I missed your call Sat. was down state doing a funeral. 220 PGR stood in the cold,wind,rain,snow and sleet for six hours.With no complaints. What a great group of people. Eye is getting better every day. Kids miss you, porky asked where are you every day. Sam looks for you every day,mattie sleeps through everything. Hope you can call again. Love you and will see you in a week. Chuck.

To Jane Ellen; Jane call me when you get into Detroit and let me know about what time you will be home. I will have a meatloaf dinner ready for you and Sue. A little Michigan comfort food. Love you Chuck.

You are a very brave person.

For Karen McDonald, I opened your second card today I miss you too, It sure has been a long time between hugs! I saw your picture in the classroom. It was good to see you again. I’m all ready to go to deer camp so I won’t be checking messages again until Sunday afternoon. Everyone at the Church Council meeting last night was asking about you. I have been keeping up with Marks e-mail postings, it sounds like your having a good time but your all very busy. I sure will be glad when you get back home.

Love You,

Don

For Karen McDonald:
Your picture on the website made us miss you even more. I spoke with Don and he said that you are having a good time. Can’t wait until you return…the transfiling is stacking up! hahahaha. Take care of yourself and be careful! Hugs and kisses…we’ll see you soon.
