In the Beginning...

As many, many, many of you know Tom and I are headed off to the Western coast of Africa. We will reside in a small country called The Gambia. There we will be working along side Youth for Christ working in schools and possibly an orphanage or two. We also have huge plans to build up country on land that was purchased on our last trip.
Tom and I have been waiting for citizenship, passports, and visas to all come through for so long that it is hard to believe that the time is approaching so quickly for us to leave. We will be heading out on the 9th of April at 12:20 am (sick that's like the middle of the night) As of now we are packing up the house, waiting on Visas and waiting to go. It's all kind of that hurry up and wait mentality really.
Just to let you all know, I feel this is going to be the easiest way for me to keep you all posted on everything. I'll post pictures and comments as often as I can and you can all still email me at my old address too if you like or if there is something you don't want the whole world to read. No worries.
Peace
