Love lifts us up where we belong...

Cheesy, I know, but you get the idea, right?

Anyway, Hannah and I need to be lifted up. We are traveling into Laos this week so that we can get our passports stamped for re-entry, as our Visas expire within the week. We need traveling mercy, and ask for someone willing to travel with us who knows more of the language, please!

A breakdown of the trip: Early Monday morning here, we board the bus and drive ten hours or so south the a city we'll call GH. We spend the night in a friend's apartment in GH, then on Tuesday we take a day trip into Laos. It's apparently a few hours to the border, then an hour at least inside the country, then a few hours out. We spend Tuesday night in GH. On Wednesday, we will have the opportunity to visit an orphanage for severly disabled (and therefore unwanted) children, and will get to help out there for a day. Thursday, we will visit some friends and help them out and do whatever, it's all up to them. Maybe work (homeschooling), maybe play (shopping), maybe both! Then on Friday, we board the bus again for the ten hour ride home. It will be an action packed adventure, and then I'll be able to say that I've been to Laos! Cool, huh?

Some things to remember as you remember us:
~traveling safety and smooth borders
~language barriers will break down
~that someone volunteers to go with us into Laos
~that we have no problems getting back into CH
~that Hannah and I survive the stress (mostly I'll be stressed, and she'll be excited... So maybe just that I survive the stress...)
~that we return to the farm safely

Thank you all for remembering me and Hannah. I know that people are lifting us up, and I thank you for loving me enough to do that! I love you all to, and I can't wait to see you again and share with you about the trip!
