It was suggested to me today that I express myself through this blog more often as it has been noted that my mother has requested so. It saddens me to think that this blog has become the ever important presence during our after dinner festivities. The sense of community that seems omniscient in our wonderful host country of Zambia is undermined by the solidarity that is consuming the majority of the members of our group. I am secluding myself for this blog only because of the prior mentioned suggestion that has been made known. I understand the importance of letting the people that have been left behind know of our experiences and adventures, yet elevating it to a mandatory status within the confines of this mission is a concept that seems more foreign to me than this continent that I now reside. On another note, my experience here, with the sole exception of this web log, has been one of the best of my life, and my spirit is joyful for that. Thank you for reading my pessimistic banter and allowing me to peacefully vent, and I assure you that attitude should remain quite pleasant away from this blog.

Okay, okay, son, you're excused from blogging any more. You actually have the right attitude that your trip is not so much about connecting with home as it is about connecting with the people in Mwandi. We love you and will wait to hear more when you get home. :-) Love, Mom and Dad
Just want you to know I read of your adventures every evening and am impessed with what you all are doing there. May God bless you and your group and keep you safe and healthy until your return. I know this will be an experience you will never forget.
Love, GML
