Dearest Missy, Here are 10 things I re-learned from 16 nights away from you: You are a need, not a want. You are the relational air that I breathe. Ten years of marriage has only just begun to quench my thirst & satiate my hunger for you. You have my heart – wholly & unashamedly. [...]

Goin' home….
Posted in Africa, Misc, Travel, tagged Going Home, itunes, KLM, playlist on March 29, 2009 | 3 Comments »
I leave for the airport in about a half an hour. My flight path home takes me through Nairobi, Amsterdam & then on to Dallas. I get into DFW about 1:20 p.m. on Monday afternoon. The travel always wears me out but the anticipation of seeing Missy, Daniel, Caroline, Abigail & Lillian will provide more [...]

I’ve had a really good week of learning here at Opportunity International Bank of Malawi. The staff at OIBM was extremely helpful and accommodating – they put up with all of my silly questions without complaint. The management team is extremely strong & they appear to get along really well. And like everyone else, after [...]

My week is going great here in Malawi. I start the long journey home on Sunday so I’m trying to soak it all in (though I miss Missy & the kids something terrible!). This morning I must have hit a spike in the bandwidth b/c I was able to upload a bunch of photos relatively quickly. [...]

Well, I made it to Malawi yesterday morning with no problems…other than a really early start. We had to leave the hotel in Uganda at 3:15 a.m. to catch the 5:25 a.m. flight out of Entebbe. There were about 10 folks from various Opportunity implementing partners on the flight from Entebbe to Nairobi. It was [...]

I had a chance to sit for a bit & check email, work, etc… I figured I’d upload some additional pictures while I working. Here is the fruit of the effort….I realize it’s not too impressive but then again this is Africa and bandwidth is a precious commodity. 1) At the school we visited [...]

David, It’s crazy that we’ve both spent our birthday this year either headed to or in Africa! I hope you know how much we love you and how thankful we are for you. You are an amazing father and husband. The kids and I are truly blessed. Have a great day and we’ll celebrate when [...]
A full day in Kampala

Today was a lot of fun. I had an opportunity to go out on an “Insight Trip” which enabled me to meet some of the clients that Opportunity International serves here in Uganda. It was a long day – we left the resort around 7 a.m. and returned about 4:30 p.m. Lots of driving on [...]
