  7. Hi Ashley & Joe,
    I'm sure you are wondering what I am doing sending you several messages that say just "hi" This will give you a little laugh, I forgot my password to send to your blog, so I set it up myself, so it shows how computer smart I am. I couldn't see if it actually went thru, so I kept checking so I'm sure you will forgive me.
    We got back to the Rio Grande Valley Sat. It's about as hot here as it is in Mali--98o--
    I like your little mud hut, it wouldn't be hard to keep clean, I guess, but I would have to have air conditioning at night.
    I am so glad we got to spend the fun full packed weekend with you even though it was hard to see you leave.
    I will write again soon.
    We want you to stay safe, enjoy all the new friends you have met.
    We love you both, we will pray for you to get used to a differnt way of life, it' all God's plan. Love, Grandma & Grandpa
    Grandma & Grandpa
