We're just a few days from departing, and most everything is in place. The parish has been so generous in supporting this trip. People have donated thousands of dollars, hours and hours of their time, and many lap tops and flash drives for us to take.

For my part, I'm equal parts excited and nervous. Nervous not about the travel or potential difficulties of Africa, but about how to be  most helpful to our brothers and sisters in Dar es Salaam. I am excited about being there with Jack and seeing him experience Africa.
