I was able to drop them off at Phoenix Sky Harbor. So sweet to now live near a major international airport! If you sent a backpack, guess which piece of luggage it might be in? Or how about a snack bag?  There is just about 500 lbs of goodies on that cart {alone}headin’ toward Uganda….

I really want to share some Africa stories over  the next few weeks.   Stories from when I was there with Emmy  to bring Ruby home, stories from the team  Emma and I led this past April 2011 and  stories from the GO Team  February 2012 trip.     I think it is often hard…
