Sunday - February 10th

Here is a great video about the Manuelito Project:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8fwALlFyv3Y

This is Ellen--it is my turn to write something for a change! While we are gone, we will try to let each of the kids write periodically (uncensored) so you will get a chance to hear their perspectives about what is happening and how they are doing. Also--many of you have asked how you can send us messages. Probably the best way is to leave us comments right here on this blog. At the bottom of each note that we write is a place you can click to write a comment....so when we are able to get online, we will be able to hear from you.

A million things to do this week before the big departure for the airport at 4AM on Saturday morning. We have had some challenges during the last week too--challenging times at work for Charlie and me, a fender bender for Alex (she is fine except for a sore neck), abdominal pain that required a CT scan (Alex again--she is fine), a bad cough for Chase--I have heard others talk about how evil tries to create doubt when you are on a path to do the Lord's work. I believe that this may be the first time we have ever been the target!! So--I ask for your prayers--that our faith and resolve remain strong and that any doubt that tries to sneak in will be replaced with peace and certainty.

More soon!! EWM
