Hi To You All,

All is going GREAT!!! The flight was very long and the day even longer. We had a 29 hrs day by the time we got to the house. We had to stop at family resturant and have dinner first. A lot of the family came and joined us. They had a really big flower arrangement in my room for me that had a ribbon that said Welcome Sister Muriel From Family With Love.


Our first day we got things ready for charity. Yesterday we road on motor bike way out to the jungle. They put us and the motor bikes on a boat and took us accross the river. We went up to a family house of Tha'n. He was one of are drivers parked the motor bikes and walked around and gave money to the elders that have a hard time getting food. The oldiest was a 99 year old women. She is still working in the garden to grow what we call weeds to have to eat. From there we went to temple for veg. lunch and planned are trip for today.


Today we are going out to take 2 vans full of food and cleaning supplies to the blind (328 people). It is very warm and muggy here.


Susan and I walked to town the other night. It was the first time she had ever done that. We went to a hotel of a family's friend and got the best spa treatment. It felt so good after such a long time on plane and up so long for day.


Thank you for all of your help!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


Will drop a note again soon.


Love Ya All,


Merf

  1. Sounds like you hit the road running. Makes me feel a little hedonistic after Cayamo. Keep up the good work, but remember a well deserved spa day.
    Love ya, Shery
