I love your pictures. It looks vibrant and colorful there. Hope you have lots of opportunity to put your training to good use. If you have extra time to pray, pray for our youth group this weekend. Dave, I and our Pastor (Rick) and his wife (Margie) are presenting an overnight conference on relationships. Lots of excitement and some nervousness for us! Congratulations on the new granddaughter! Hannah has a new boyfriend. She says you'll have to meet him when you get back. Galen says hi too. God bless and keep you safe (especially from volcanoes). Love, Linda Wright

Kelly, This site is really cool. What a great way to share your adventure. Kim has written saying you have made some contacts with Dr. Carlos and creating some connections for PC. I;m looking forward to this Fall and talking to you about this trip. Having students like you, adventurous, brave, and eager to learn make teaching rewarding. I'm blathering on here, but I just really admire you for wanting to do this trip and then following through and making it happen. Be safe and healthy and have a great time.

Jake

Hey Mama,
Well your second granddaughter was born early this morning, weighing 7pds 4oz, with all 10 fingers and all 10 toes and a very full head of dark hair. Mary says Kyrie Anne (spelling?) has very strong lungs, and was crying before she was out!!!! We found out she was born about 5min after we heard from you this morning. Mom Dad and baby all seem happy, and plan on being home tomorrow. We all did yard work this evening, and took Happy for a walk. Great pics mom, it all looks so pretty. Love You~Brooke & Nana
