I am so thankful for all the lives that were touched and the staff that was blessed and appreciated by you and your contributions to them as well as to those they serve. Thanks so much for the summary post as I sincerely pray that someone has a video of the match with a feature clip of Pastor David going into the bush. safe journey and a wonderful homecoming for you all.

We miss you here in the cow town. I spoke with Dr. Jeff's honey, and she told me that Jeff called her on her way back from the Carolina's and she told me the news of her new brother. I gave her the information to Blog you today. I got Lolo's phone message today, Tuesday, sorry I missed you, I can't wait to really hear from you, so I'm going to jump on a plane and come and find you guys..............Just kidding. Anyway, It sounds like you all are working overtime, and everyone over there are appreciative of all of your efforts, keep up the good work, and we will keep looking daily at the pictures you all are sending. Our prayers are with you, be safe and I'll blog you again soon. All our love, Bob, Max and Buddy. Hello McWhorters & the Gulu gang!

Take lots of pictures. Sarah wants you to bring her home a monkey in addition to a drum (and she’s not talking about a stuffed animal monkey…). Andrew is still playing his sax constantly, but now, he sounds more like a wounded goose, rather than one dying. Catherine and I have been working on homework, and tomorrow, we are going school supply shopping. The Vitellas’ house was a lot of fun. They want you to come over and share Africa stories and play Euchre (Mommy and Ms. Lisa promise not to cheat…). We love you sooooo much and are soooooo proud of you. We can’t wait to hear some more adventures when you return. We miss you! 5 days and counting… Love, Hannah, Catherine, Andrew, Sarah, and Mommy P.S. Tess is a wild cat. She caught a fly today, but when she ate it, it was still buzzing in her mouth (GROSS!). She loves to climb on chairs to look out the window at Mr. Chipmunk, who is still constantly stealing our tomatoes (he took four today). Tess misses you and her soft under-belly attacks from you.

Funny that Davey and Bobby are now experienced ditch diggers; sounds like some exhausting father/son bonding. Much better than your heated contests on the links! I know you're probably wondering (maybe just Ina), but Lilly wanted you to know that the baby has been kicking like "crazy" in her belly. I've yet to feel it, so we'll just take her word on this one. The photos are fanatastic and look forward to continue following this phenomonal trip. Keep up the good work! Can't wait to hear all your stories!

We are all praying for you and the team there. We can't wait to see you and hear about your adventure. This must top the Hawaiian Waterfall Adventure over the "Tressel of Death", the "Mudslide to Pain", and the "Rock Trail to Broken Bones". We miss you. I love you, brother. Remember Matthew 25:31-40!

I just love to hear your voice! Super busy with the kiddos today, but it's all good! Tried a burger recipe for dinner and all I can say is you ate way better than we did tonight. Yick! Actually, double yick! Mama needs a new recipe to take to NYC! Catherine was polite and ate hers... Andrew took a bite and said "I really don't care for it so much...can I please get a bowl of cereal?" Hannah and Sarah dodged the burger bullet by eating pizza at the ballet sleepover! Hmmmmm... Talked to Ma and Pa Ralston tonight, they send their love and are so proud of you. You know your dad..."That Dave is tough now-he's a Ralston!" Saturday will be here before you know it and we can't wait! Love, Hannah, Catherine, Andrew, Sarah Grace & Teri xoxoxoxoxoxo P.S. Great job on your 1st blog entry, Betsy! They have all been so wonderful to read-it is the highlight of our day! Hey Babe,

The kids and I really really really really reallly miss you (that's 5 reallys - one from each of us)! They have eaten much of their candy - Hunter loved the sour gummy worms! Katherine thinks that you came back from Africa to leave a gift for her on her bed. She was looking for one again this morning. :) Isabella is having her big sleep over tonight at the ballet studio - such a big deal! Hunter actually volunteered to go with me to drop her off - hmmm! Annie is on the verge of walking, but I know she is just waiting for you. So since today is our anniversary, I had the wedding album out. We all had fun looking at it! And, Babe, I have to tell you that you have still got it - actually you are better than ever! I guess it's true that men just get better looking with age - especially Milroy Men! (Don't puff up your chest, Robby!) Alright - that's all I've got tonight! 5 more days - can't wait! L How’s my Milroy Man?

I need you to help me. I took out the trash and took it all down for trash day. It made Mommy smile when I did that for her. It is fun with our cousins here. We are very excited to go to the beach! I love you, Tyler O H I O! Oh yeah, I can't wait to watch the bucks games! Can we go see a game this year? I have been doing some flips for gymnastics, but I am kind'a getting nervous that I will be the only boy! The costume closet has been played in a lot. I have been helping keep it clean, but some of the hangers got broken. I am excited to skim board tomorrow at the beach! I love you, Bryce I have been having fun with my cousins! We went to Maria's pool today because Pine lake was closed. It was still fun, but there wasn't a slide. I have been making my bed everyday and have slept in a lot for Mommy. She has been doing The Shred and I have done some too. I miss you Daddy, I love you, Dylan Hi Daddy, Mommy said we can't go shopping while you are in Africa. I NEED a new bag and pink ballet slippers!! I love having my girl cousins here to play with. They like all my toys and my bags. I think I would like a new baby. Baby AJ is so cute and his cry is very little. I am excited to stay in the hotel with my cousins. I love you, Ava Hey HOT STUFF, I miss you like crazy and can't wait to snuggle you when you get back. Just so you know, I am amazed by YOU! I love you Daddy,
