For your viewing enjoyment I present to you our random thoughts and activities. Many don't even make much sense to us - the authors. Estranged love? This is more of "a strange love."

- Progress - Wednesday, June 14, 2006
Progress is definitely being made in the arena now know as the "Move of 2006." We pretty much have the entire living room packed up excluding the vast numbers of books we own (we actuallyl unearthed quite a few more books while clearing out the storage closet). Our living room has now become a military obstacle course with exactly a 12 inch clearance to pass from one part of the hosue into the other. And dont' even think about trying to manuever the terrain at night - you're liable to come up with quite a nasty flesh wound. We have boxes on top of boxes on top of boxes over here - it's sheer madness. But it's so nice to be making progress. Ahhh...

We leave for Nicaragua in just a few short days - bliss, that's the only thing I can say right now. I'm so ready to get the heck out of this country it makes no sense. Yes, it's hot down there, and yes the bugs are aggressive (as in, they hold on to your sandwich whilst you vigorously shake it to death), and yes, the hotel is just so-so.... but what an amazing time it is. Nothing like getting hot, funky, and bug eaten to bring a people together. It's going to be a good time.

For the numerous people interested in the things we MUST bring to the church by next Wednesday or Thursday (not exactly sure which day yet), here is "the list" per person
- 2 bottles shampoo
- 2 bottles conditioner
- 4 bars soap
- 2 deoderants (one male, one female)
- 2 tubes toothpaste
- 2 adult toothbrushes
- 2 children's toothbrushes
- 2 hair brushes
- 2 combs
- 1 bottle lice shampoo (we take extras b/c we use so much while there)
- hair ornaments for the itty bitty's
- 1 box gallon size zip lock bags

We all the listed items in individual care packages that the pastors pass out to the villagers. So taking this stuff is HIGHLY important. Most of the villagers can't afford these items that we see as basic - so this truly blesses them. We plan to take photos of our friends and supporters with us this year. The children down there love looking at photos, whether it be of them or someone we love dearly.
