I am finally here.
Thank you.
We are working hard at many things, me on learning Kreyol and organizing my thoughts and resources for school. Things are s l o w sometimes and then get really fast, but I am enjoying everything from the beans and rice to the bucket baths to the makeshift conversations with my new neighbors in my broken Kreyol.
I love it. I love it all. (except the mosquitos)

Down to the Wire
Well, Family, I'm moving in a week. There are still a lot of details, a lot of little things I need to take, a lot of planning ahead to do so that I take everything I need.
I've been able to spend some time with Dee these last few days she's been in town. That's been good and reassuring. It is a comfort to be given some insight into daily issues by her. Up to this point I have just been a little intimidated by the idea of going at it alone. It's not so bad now. And she's a quality friend to have around anyway...
Most of my goodbye's have been said. Friends have moved or gone on vacation before I leave, so we've parted a bit early. It's funny how normal the goodbye's are now. I have left the country so many times that now it's just a "yeah, see you later." No tears. No mushy last moments. Just see-you-laters. I like it that way. That's evidence of kinship in the Spirit.
I'll let you know how things are going in the next couple of days.
Love you all.

Illinois Tour 2008
I got a late start yesterday because of some very complicated problems. I'm having a rough time. I believe it's because Satan is working harder to make this impossible. I'll tell you what, I'm not having fun right now, but you can bet that I have no intention to quit or slow down or give up, as painful as this has been. Hey Satan, we've already won and you don't have a chance!
God is teaching me a lot about perseverence and provision. Not to mention prayer!
I'm in Decatur today after passing through and meeting with churches in Jacksonville and Springfield. I'll be here for the day and in Paris tomorrow and heading to Moline on Friday. Pray for fruit!
Love you!
