Wednesday July 21st - Packing! :~(

Well, we knew that it had to come. It's so hard to leave when we have fallen in love with the people here! Also when we know that it's going to be even hotter at home!!! :~)

We packed things up and our sweet Masta came to get us a little before 10pm. We talked for a while and it was time to go.

We got to the airport and said a reluctant goodbye to Masta and to Indonesia. Masta was such a huge help to us - there were several times that we were totally relying on her (and our Heavenly Father!) because of the language barrier. It was hard to know that it may be a couple more years before we see her again! David will be coming for Fall Global Celebration, so it will be great to see him again! (Please pray for him to get his visa!)

Everything went well with security and we started the wait - our plane leaves at 1:00am!
This flight is only around 6 hours long - we need to sleep well on this flight so that we won't sleep walk thru Seoul - need to make that flight! Only have 1 hour of layover, but the travel agent assured us that the gate should be close to our arrival gate.

Seoul - the cleanest airport I have every been in. Made the flight with time to spare!

Korean Air - my favorite airline so far. Sweet, beautiful attendants that treat you well. And actually feed you well! This flight is our long one - around 13 1/2 hours...it was a novelty on the way - we were excited to get there, and we each had our own monitor in front of us with a choice of over 40 movies to choose from, + games, and a cool flight tracker, so that we could see where the plane in the world and pan to see different areas.
This is good in a way, because Gary, Sandie and I were reluctant to leave, and it helps the transition because after so many hours in flight you just want to be home!

Finally arrived in Atlanta - we had nice people going through immigration which always makes you feel more at home!

Short time in Atlanta - definitely transitioning! Burgers for lunch! No more nasi goreng! :~(

After 30 hours from arrival in Denpasar, Bali airport, to Greensboro, NC, we are finally home!
*************************************************************************************
All of us agree that the Indonesia bond and commitment is one that must not be broken.
There are so many needs here that are relatively simple to fulfill and we want to remain a part

of that.

Christ For The Island World is doing good and effective work here. To come alongside the nationals and help them to help their fellow countrymen is a highly effective way of helping not only with water containment systems, sealed toilets and basic needs, but to also share Christ's love through evangelism and relationships. Please continue to pray for them - they are in need of people to invest in their ministry. You can follow them at http://cftiw.blogspot.com/.

Our team all have said that they want to go back - two have said that they would lead the team. It's such a blessing to have a team that fit together as well as this one - and it was such a blessing to see the way that everyone worked together and added their spiritual gifts into the mix.

To you - our supporters: You were an integral part of our team and our work in Indonesia. Your prayers and financial support created an opportunity for you to be "On the ground" with us. Thank you so much and God bless you and yours!

Please pray that:

*The Indonesian people on Sumba and all islands will continue to grow their ministry and reach out to more of their people and bring them to Christ.

*That our tank will be a reminder to the people of Sumba that God will provide for them.

*That we will be humble servants of His after our mission trip. *That our faith will continue to grow. *That we all will remain close as we continue our busy lives. *That we remember to slow down and not let the enemy discourage us.

*That the people of Indonesia will not forget us and that we won't forget them!

Terima Kasih, Indonesia! Selamat Tinggal & Sampai jumpa! * Thank you, Indonesia! Goodbye & until later...

Tuesday 20th - Transition day!

Did I tell you that Masta and David have many friends??

When we were in the airport waiting for our flight to Sumba, some of the team members had noticed an ad for a place to ride elephants. David says "My friend owns that place" and proceeded to call him to schedule a visit. He called and told us that instead of the normal $34 entry fee (Which was the Indonesian price - tourist price is $59!) that he would let us in for $17.00 because of the work that we were doing on Sumba! He made the arrangements then for us to go on the 20th.
Masta had a friend from church that arranged 2 vehicles for us to take us. We got to the park - it ended up being a huge animal park with great shows with the animals, plus a tram/bus that went through the animals habitats, so they were up close and personal! Of course we got our pics with a tiger, plus rode the elephants. (Who would guess that elephants actually have very bony backs???)
On the way back Masta also had a friend (Will wonders never cease!) that could get us really cheap prices on silver. (Silver is very cheap in Denpasar - this was reallly cheap!) We stopped by to check it out. Sam, Gary and I were getting very thirsty after a long day spent walking through the park. We started walking down the street to find a place to buy water. There was nothing around - there were many different shops, but no restaraunts. We kept walking and by this time were really parched. I finally stopped and asked a fellow in front of his shop if he knew where we could find water. He said that he had some, and I thought maybe he had personal water that we could buy, which we would have been greatful to do. (Please remember that this is a culture where you bargain for everything, and that a tip is expected for almost everything.)
We went into a small room in his shop and from a small fridge produced 3 waters. (The kind you get on the plane with a foil top and straw.) He said "Free", and I told him that we would like to pay him, but he insisted that it was free. What a neat blessing and kindness from him!
Then we went to pick up Masta's sons - she and David live with his mother and three boys - Dave Ray, Aaron and Nathan. We got to see their home and also give out the gifts from home for their family that we had left at their home. She gave us some neat bags to take home.
We went back to the hotel, had dinner and got another good nights rest!

While we were traveling back and resting, Clay, Luke, David, Chuck, Pastor Elias and the people at Merry Danos were completing the project that we had begun with them. See note below from Clay's blog:

For us we continued at Merry Dano’s home water project and completed three tanks, one being the slow sand, bio film filter. We also rebuilt her well casing as the stone was badly crumbled and one side just above ground level. We then shopped and purchased a gasoline engine water pump that will allow them to fill the primary storage tank from the well when the water table is good.
We filled the sand filter with stone and sand and was able to fill it with the pump so that the bacterial film layer will begin to develop.This takes a month to create the film which is about 1 inch thick, consisting of bacteria that is anaerobic, it eats pathogens as they slowly pass through it. Compare it to the good bacteria in your stomach.

Great to have the project complete!

Monday July 18th - Goodbye for now, Sumba!

Got up early - got to airport at 6:00am.
Masta got a call from David that Casper's mom had died at 4pm the day before! We couldn't believe that he didn't tell us - he knew when we passed his house, (He could have had us stop to get his things for the journey to Roti island) he knew as he looked for a long time for a place open to eat supper and then sat through a long meal, very quietly. He also knew as he helped us look through the dark streets of Sumba for Ikat and peanuts and then walked us back to the hotel. He could have been taking all of that time to go back home (a couple of hours back towards Baing) to gather his clothes, but instead he stayed and took care of us. We were very humbled by this quiet, sweet servant of our Saviour who put aside every sorrow and need of his own to help us.

Surprise - there was no one at the airport but a man at the guard shack! We waited and waited - Masta tried to make some calls to find out what had happened. After a long time another man came and he told her that if a flight is canceled that no one shows up! The flight from Bali to Sumba is made in country by an Indonesian as the price is much less that way, and our itinerary that David had printed out said that we were to leave at 7:30, and there was no change when we left Bali for Sumba only 4 days before!
We went in the airport and there was not a flight scheduled on Merapati Air that day! It was like it didn't exist!
We did see that Batavia Air had a flight scheduled for later that day.

In the midst of our quest for a flight back, Casper showed up at the airport! He was looking for a flight to Kupong, East Timor island, then he would take a ferry on to Roti island. The flight to Kupong was 2,000,000 rupiah - about $200 US. That is a huge amount for a struggling pastor - he didn't have the funds but had just come in faith to see if there was a flight out.
Almost simultaneously the team started pulling out personal $$, and some team members gave an extra portion to provide for the remainder of the journey and incidentals. Casper had been such a willing servant of Christ and such a huge part of the project - we wanted our Indonesian brother to have one less worry. It was soo worth it to see the concern on his face immediately vanish and be replaced with peace. He left the airport to go back home to pack his things for the journey.

Masta was finally able to reach the travel agent in Bali that they had used to purchase our in-country tickets. He told her that there were seats available on the Batavia flight - that we would have to pay for those tickets, then get our refund from Merapati in Bali. We had left remaining funds with CFTIW to complete the project in Baing, so we were reluctant to pull from personal funds in hopes that we would, in fact, receive that refund in Bali, plus the tickets were more expensive than the original airline.
He instructed us to go across the street to the Batavia Air office and get our tickets. After a long wait and many calls back and forth from their office, Masta and the travel agent, a miracle occurred - Merapati somehow worked it out with Batavia to purchase our tickets for us! No paying in advance and trying to get a refund later!

David and Masta are very warm and personable people, and also wonderful servants of God, so they have friends (And brothers and sisters!) all over Indonesia. This was becoming so valuable for us. David was able to call (from Baing) to a contractor friend, Danny, in Wainapu. Danny sent 2 cars for us.
They took us to a restaraunt - it is supposed to be the best restaraunt in Wainapu, and it was very good and very reasonable, but when we got up to pay Masta told us that Danny had paid for us! What a blessing! (It ends up that in 2008, it was Danny's fish house that we were invited to for a meal as well!)

When we finished, they told us that we were going to Pastor Mangi and his wife, Sui's home! Gary and I had stayed at their home the last time and had such an incredible time with them that we were saddened that we weren't going to be able to see them this trip. Pastor Mangi and his wife have helped to raise many of the pastors children as they travel in their ministry, plus have taken in orphaned children to raise as their own. They are wonderful people and we felt that we had forged a strong bond between us, their daughter Vonny, and the other ladies helping at their home.
We were so excited, and also excited for the rest of the team to get to meet them.

We went to their home and it ended up that Casper's wife, Sarah, and son, Naldo, were living with the Mangi's during the week while their son went to school. We had met them all in our 2008 trip! It was a wonderful reunion for Gary and I and the Mangi's. We asked them many questions through Masta and it was a blessed time.
Pastor Mangi had left while we were visiting - he came back and had gifts for us - probably just purchased especially for us - he gave everyone on the team an Ikat. We were so touched. What sweet and giving people are our brothers and sisters in Indonesia!

We went back to the airport and to Batavia Air. We found out that Casper would be on our flight! We first flew to Kupong, East Timor, where we said goodbye to Casper. Then we flew on to Denpasar, Bali.

Wow, we have traveled far and a lot has happened since we were in Denpasar on the 13th!
We were only here for a small portion of the day before we left for BATI. Masta has pulled another rabbit out of the hat for us, and a huge blessing. We had stayed at the Puri Mango originally, and it was nice, though it was an older hotel and had a lot of mold due to no bath ventilation sysytems. Masta had a friend who has a newer hotel - this one beach front, and because she was Masta's friend, gave it to us for the same price as Puri Mango! It is very nice and no mold!
We were elated to find that it had a cabana style restaraunt at the beach - no more walking long distances to find a place to eat! The prices were extremely reasonable with a buffet breakfast included! We are purposefully not showing pics as our supporters would think that we were spoiled, and we were! We just didn't have to pay any extra!
Most of the team did some transition eating - club sandwiches - stayed and talked for a while - then were off to a very good rest.

Sunday July 18th - Goodbye Baing!

Wow, so much to cover on our last day in Baing!

We have to leave from Wainapu airport to fly back to Bali tomorrow morning at 7:30am, so have to be at the airport at 6am. We decided that instead of getting up at 2:30am to make the 3 1/2 hour drive that we should leave around 3pm today and stay in Wainapu overnight.

After breakfast we went to Pastor Elias' church (right beside his home) and

Masta and Pastor Elias' wife did the Sunday school lesson for the kids.

Gary blew up balloons for them and we gave out tons of stuff - (I think Kelley had spent every waking moment planning what to take for them - what a huge success!) sunglasses, balloons, gum, silly bands, balls, leis, etc, etc.

The adult service came after - Clay gave a message on being available to be used by God. As an example he had a young boy play the part of a crippled man - he was lifted and passed by hand over the top of the congregation to the back of the church, to a young girl who was playing Jesus. Point being that we can all be used by God and need to be available to that. It was a good message and definitely seemed to have an effect on the congregation.

They sang "Amazing Grace" in Sumbanese, a sweet echo of our rendition of it the evening before.

David had us stand and had each of us tell where we were from and to say why we were in Sumba. Then he asked for volunteers for testimonies. I had asked Joe to give his because it was one based on a relational approach by his buddies in college. I gave mine because Gary and my walk with Christ began after the death of our son, and since they had lost children in the village, I thought that it would be a good way to relate to them that God can work through tragedy (not causing it) to move the hearts of His people to Him.

Afterwords we greeted the congregation and had our last meal in Baing. Pastor Elias and his wife gave us some Ikat (a very detailed fabric) to thank us for coming.

We then started back for Wainapu. Everyone except the team was staying in Baing to get ready for Clay's team #2, traveling to Kabunda. Pastor

Casper was to go back with us to pick up some more supplies in Wainapu.

On the drive we passed Casper's house. (Shown with Clay on the bus.) Unknown to us, Casper had received a call before we passed his house that his mother had died. She lived on Roti island. He told no one on the bus. We got to Wainapu at dusk (it gets dark at 6-6:30 there) and he helped check us in to the hotel. After that he went with us to dinner, then he tried to help find some Ikat and Sumba peanuts. He was staying the evening

with Pastor Mangi in Wainapu, and I was concerned that he was trying to accomodate us when he could be spending time there. Still we had no idea what had happened...

Saturday July 17 - Sam's 18th Birthday!!!

Today is Sam's 18th birthday! Wendy, thanks so much for allowing him to be with our team on this momentous occasion! Kelley made a great shirt for his birthday - everyone signed the back with their name and a bible verse.

What a special young man, (Now an adult!!!) who really rose to every occasion with grace, and as we found as we went along, a great sense of humor!!!

He hurt his shoulder in a lacrosse game in April - he had surgery two months before we left and was brave enough to still want to come to Indo to help with the project. None of us could imagine the team going without him! He was such an integral part of our team!

Clay did a devotional with us - then asked each of us how this trip was effecting us and what God what God was showing us through the trip.

We are now ready to go finish the tank and start the sand filter! Got to site - clipped wires holding metal forms and luaun in - took both out. Started plastering interior with concrete. Worked on finishing the lid.

At lunchtime we walked to the beach - about 2 1/2 miles. Masta met us there with a wonderful lunch. Afterwords Sam said that he would love to get in the ocean - I asked Clay if it was safe and he said he thought it would be fine. Sam and Luke both took off and got in. In the meantime someone asked where they were and were told that they were in the ocean. Then the nationals said that there were sharks. I called the guys back in and told them. After a little discussion they figured that they would be more careful and not go out as far and went back out. Then there was more commotion from back at the lunch site, and this time the nationals said that not only were there sharks, but there were crocodiles. Apparantly being so close to Australia, Sumba also has salt water crocs! We called them back in again, and they were a little slower to come this time, savoring every moment. They did get a lot more attentive when they heard what we had to say this time! Clay and Gary actually spotted 5 or 6 of something that definitely could have been crocs - large creatures (minus dorsal fins) floating on the right side of the bay that actually turned and started making their way towards the guys! A story they will be telling long after for sure!

Got back to work site - Casper had worked through lunch (He insisted) to complete the finish coat on the inside - what a humble servant of Christ! We finished up the lid and began working on the sand filter.

David started two sealed toilets. As I mentioned earlier, the sealed toilet at Pastor Elias' was the only one in the village - they had also built one at Merry Dano's, just for our teams comfort. A sealed toilet is a sqatty potty with a trap built in underneath so that when you pour in water from the dip cup it gravity forces the waste down past the trap. None of the people in the village even had toilets, much less a sealed toilet, and they are crucial for sanitation.

David's uncle Rus had devised a means of making a sealed toilet from dirt and concrete. A mud
form is made 1st, then the concrete is applied over it. After it cures, you flip it over and dig out all of the dirt. Ingenious, and they only cost around $1.00-2.00 per sealed toilet. (A ceramic fixture from Wainapu - 3 1/2 hours away - costs around $15.00. For people who barter their goods for food, the cost is just too prohibitive.

I can easily envision future Westover teams going and building tanks, plus several of these as they take very little concrete.

Late afternoon (or was it before lunch?) Mary Dano and friends brought us another snack - this time it was baked corn + the coffee and tea. Such sweet people - the language barrier can't hinder the smiles and warmth that you feel from fellow brothers and sisters in Christ.

We had another great supper made by Masta and Pastor Elias' wife and helpers. What a blessing they were to our team!

We went to church service - David introduced the team. Then he asked us to sing a song! (He has a great sense of humor - the only one of us who has actually sung in front of an audience before is Gary!) We were totally unprepared, but sang Amazing Grace - first stanza, twice!

David showed some inspirational videos, and then a humorous one - he really does have a great sense of humor and he uses this in his ministry, which helps people warm to him even more.

We stayed up late getting all of our gifts for the national pastors, our hosts and the children ready. For the pastors we tried to bring small but practical things - inexpensive watches, knives, flashlights, etc. For the woman we brought makeup bags with small gifts; kitchen towels, jewelry, etc. Containers are good because they keep bugs/critters out.

Friday July 16th

Good morning Sumba! Great to finally be here and ready to start on the water tank.

A lot to tell on this day - will surely miss something important! Will count on the rest of team to add as they feel led!

Good breakfast of instant oatmeal, bread, nutella and tea + a little fruit. Headed to site in 1 jeep and a motor cycle - about 3 miles away on rough roads. Beautiful scenery. Got to site - between Merry Dano's church and their home. Very humble home - a one room structure with a lean to for cooking. Wonderfully sweet people there to assist us - adorable children. Got started on putting together the form for the tank and sifting sand. Concrete is mixed on the ground by forming a bowl shape and adding water to center - then carefully stirring mix from perimeter into the water. That is applied to the tank, and we were having a lot of trouble the first half of the day getting it applied, especially on the side where the sun was directly on it.

We went back to Pastor Elias' for lunch - it's so hard for task oriented people to slow down -some of us would have loved to have had a quick snack and continued, but remembered that we had to go at the pace of our hosts, and that the trip was as much about building relationships as building the tanks.

After lunch Clay had us add more water into the ratio of concrete, sand and water and we finally started to have success! We got most of the exterior done that day which was a huge thing for us. Merry Dano and friends made a snack of baked bananas, tea and coffee. The coffee was grown, roasted and ground right in Baing, and was incredible!

We completed most of the exterior that day and it actually started raining! For an island that gets 8" of rain per year, and never at that time of year, it was amazing and also a God-send. We put a tarp over the tank and it only rained a little, but it was more humid than normal, which was great for allowing the concrete to cure slowly. We started forming the dirt to hold the concrete for the lid. The shape of the lid is formed, then the concrete sacks are placed on top, then the concrete is placed on top of that. The sacks keep the concrete from adhering to the dirt.

Thursday 7-15-10 Sumba!

Left BATI early morning to go to airport. We are leaving for Sumba! Met David's wife, Masta at the airport. So great to see her again! She will go with us to Baing to help with interpretation and to help prepare meals.

While at the airport and during the rush through security we ended up with an extra bag on our cart. A woman with a security guard came up to us and she pointed out her bag on our cart! We had lots of questions asked - it was pretty scary and we prayed that it would work out - she still had another bag missing, and the security guard wanted to know where it was! Finally the other bag was found - thank God! None of us wanted to go on a mission trip and end up in a jail in Denpasar! We were getting even more anxious to finally be in Sumba...

We arrived safely and Gary and I were so happy to see old friends (Pastors Elias, Chuck and Casper) waiting for the team! Got our stuff and headed to Baing. About a 3 1/2 hour ride - got a good view of Sumba. Stopped at Pastor Stephanos' church to say hello - Compassion International was doing Vacation Bible School there.

We got to Baing at dusk - it gets dark between 6-6:30pm there! Pastor Elias apologized for not having food as good as we have at home??? I told him that it was the type of meal that I would prefer to have at home! Rice, fresh bok choy and spinach - great meal!

The houses in the immediate vicinity have walls, doors and concrete floors. Simple but nice. In the surrounding area the homes are much humbler - usually one room with thatched room and sometimes a lean-to for cooking. A lot of them are built off the ground - probably to discourage snakes and pests.

Found out that the bathroom at Pastor Elias' house was brand new - they had built it for us! It had a nice squatty potty and a dip bath area. It is the only sealed toilet in the village. Joe and Sam were gracious enough to let the lady's (and Gary) have the rooms at Pastor Elias' - they had no bathroom at their house across the street. Clay and Luke pitched their tents in Pastor Elias' church next door since Clay has the bad mold allergies that effect him almost everywhere.

Electricity is regulated in Sumba - you can only use it at night. Pastor Elias had borrowed a generator in case the electricity went out so that we could see the light in the bathroom behind the house. Gary and I were blessed to have the only light in our room.

So many different sounds and distractions that make sleeping hard - roosters, who have absolutely no sense of time, crowing in the middle of the night. Dogs that fight all night long. Coconuts and mystery fruit falling on the tin roof. It's cooler there than in NC, but still in the low 80's and hard to acclimate to while trying to sleep. Add to that the over 40 sleep problems of 5 out of 6 on our team, and you get a little sleep deprivation!

At least we didn't have to worry about scorpions in our sleeping bags like Clay and Luke, who killed one by their tent the first night!

Wednesday 7-14-10

Last night we were getting ready to call it a night and heard dogs barking and a huge ruckus outside - ends up some guys were out hunting snakes. (They do this at night with flashlights.) They had pulled a 13' python out of the river. They will take it home, skin and eat it.
Today we started with a nice breakfast. Then David A.(The national missionary from Bali.) did a devotion and then a team building exercise resembling the game "Twister".
Then he took us on a trek through the jungle and rice patties. We got to meet a cousin of his and his wife and wait out a rain shower in a covered shelter they have in the rice patties. Absolutely beautiful here.
Later in the evening, Clay had us gather and asked each what our expectations from the trip were, and what we hoped to gain from it. Neat time of sharing.

Tuesday 7-13-10

We got to Bali after 12am - David (the national missionary with CFTIW on Bali) met us there. So good for Gary and I to see our old friend and to introduce him to the team!

We arrived at our hotel in Bali around 1:00am. Clay and his son, Luke, met us there. Great to see Clay again, and it was the first time for the team to meet Luke. He is such a great young man. Very energetic and very personable, with a great sense of humor!

Everyone was tired but very glad to finally be in Indonesia!

After getting some much needed sleep we had our first nasi goreng, which is Indonesian fried rice, usually having bok choy and a fried egg on top. Topped with a little sumbal (Indonesian garlic-chile paste) it's incredible!
After changing some money we started for BATI. With every time frame given in Bali you have to add for traffic - it probably took us an extra hour to get there, but it was sooo worth it.
BATI stands for Bali Appropriate Technology Institute. BATI was founded by Russ and Made Alit. Many of Rus's technologies can be found here. Rus Alit is an Appropriate Technologist, which is someone who visits third world countries and introduces simple but effective technologies, "Appropriate" for the local peoples, climate and culture. BATI is a training institute used to teach others about appropriate technology and they teach people how to make their own pumps and water tanks. Rus worked with World Vision for many years but now contracts for various projects.
Shown in one photo is a sand filter - after sand is in tank it's filled the rest of the way with water. Good bacteria forms on the top of the sand and when the water filters through it is 99.5% pure.
Another photo is a ram pump that they made to feed the tanks.
You can learn a little more at the BATI website which also links to Camp Bali, which is held at BATI. http://www.campbali.com/BATI.htm

Summary Update

We are about to leave to come back home now, so we wanted to give a short update. We’re sorry, but we did not have access to the blog site since we arrived in Indonesia. Our trip to Bali continued from Korea to be uneventful and we arrived on Monday evening and to the hotel early Tuesday morning. We got a quick night’s sleep in the city of Denpasar, Bali and were off to the Bali Agricultural Training Institute (BATI) the next day. BATI is a Christian-owned facility where people come from all over the world to learn agricultural techniques to take back to their own regions. They teach simple technology and sustainable programs which can be used for community development in impoverished areas.The next day, Thursday, we left for the Island of Sumba where we worked on the water project. We stayed in the homes of the small village of Baing. The people were wonderful and the Lord blessed all of us through their love and fellowship. We left Sumba on Monday afternoon and went back to Denpasar, Bali to spend another day there before beginning our return trip on Wednesday night. We plan to upload a more detailed update with pictures soon!!!

On The Way to Indonesia

The team met at GSO at 6:30am on Sunday to check in and at 7:15 prayed with a wonderful group of Westover friends who came to see us off, and took off at 8:30. We've had an uneventful trip so far to Atlanta and Seoul Korea where we are waiting for our connection to Indonesia. It's 5:30pm here, but to us it is 4:30am. The weather is overcast and about 78 degrees. We all hope to get a little sleep on our last leg to Bali, Indonesia (7 hour flight). We're tired, but we're getting excited at the same time. More to come...

Packing Party!

Fun night of packing and fellowship!

Last Minute Details!

We're leaving this Sunday! (July 11th!)
For anyone who would like to see us off, we will be at the G'boro airport, inside in the Delta area at 7:10 am to pray.
If you didn't get a prayer calendar, e-mail one of the team members before Saturday and have them e-mail you one. It has daily prayer requests. :~)

Thanks so much for all the prayers and support!

Kristi (For Indo Water Team)
