Bob & Patty's Excellent Afghan Adventure - Day 9
The following is an excerpt from the
journal I kept while on our trip to Afghanistan April 21-30, 2008.
If you received our daily email updates you've seen most of it, but not all. Since our return I've added a few notes and comments which I've put in blue italic type so those of you who don't want to read it all again can pick out the "new stuff." <g> I've also added a couple photos from each day of the trip, which weren't always in the daily updates.
If you'd like to see more photos from the trip, follow the link to the left. I took most of them, but some were taken by other team members Ron Atchley, John Eisel, Gary Goodenow, and Susie Knezel. (John and Susie are pros, so the best ones probably came from them. <g>) If you'd like hi-rez copies of any of them just let me know.
Tuesday, April 29
This morning we have some sorting of medical and school supplies to do for future distributions and then we head to the airport for the long trip back to Denver. None of us are ready to leave yet and wish we could stay longer. I think everyone in our group is already thinking about their NEXT trip. I know Patty and I are.
This will be my last message till we're back home so I'll leave you with one last photo for now a little boy and his sister we met in Barek Aub who was happy just to have a piece of Naan to eat today. It doesn't take much to make them happy a little goes a long, long way in Barek Aub.
Thank you again for your prayers support. We'll be in touch again soon!

This young boy and his sister
have a message for you... "THANK YOU for helping my family
and me!"
