"December 2011 Up-Date ..."

Hello friends ...

Eight weeks on the road, living out of suitcases and staying in generous people's homes, tends to put a kink in one's best intentions to maintain regular reporting. Our days have been very full ... and very fulfilling.

We're grateful ... so very grateful for the expressions of love we've received from friends along the way.

We've been back at base for a little while now, but we've continued to run hard to care for the many things that have needed attention before we can turn our attention back to Zimbabwe.

I write this from a Motel room in Calgary, after a great meeting with friends in Lethbridge, Alberta this afternoon. I flew in from Abbotsford early this morning, and fly back in the morning. Only one more trip to go once I get back to base ... this time a road trip up and over the snowy Rockies ... before I can finally pause, take a few deep breaths and enjoy family for the brief time we'll have together over the Christmas season.

Mandy's been doing good justice to the kinds of things I can't stand ... like paper work and bookkeeping ... ugh! She does such a great job, and I'm thankful to be able to entrust it all to her.

It's going to be great to stop ... even if for a brief moment or two.

May you and yours be blessed as you give attention to the wonderful dynamics of family and friends this season.

Thanks for remembering us and the rest of the ANESU team as we embark on another year's adventure in Zimbabwe!

I appreciate you.

Bud
