The morning after Christmas, we met up with Heidi's brother and sister-in-law in Cleveland, Ohio and drove to Salisbury, North Carolina (about nine hours). Yesterday, we had Christmas with Heidi's parents, brother, sister and all of their families.
It was our first time to see our new niece, Della Scott, who is about three months old now. And it was great to see how Boone is growing - he's now a year and a half old. It seems like just last week we were here for his baptism!
The bummer is that the men in the family seem to all be sick - Eddie (Heidi's dad), Daryl (Heidi's brother), and Jeff (Heidi's brother-in-law) are all sick. So we're skipping town today to go see Heidi's aunt in Raleigh a few days early.
And at the risk of offending anyone in our family (who are all GREAT gift-givers), some of the best news we've gotten on this trip came yesterday via an email from our friend Ernest Braren. It seems that our container has been approved for shipping!!!! We loaded this container with medical supplies and all of Matt's recording equipment back in May and now it seems it will be arriving in Guatemala shortly. THANK YOU to everyone who has worked on that, especially Ernest!
Well, we gotta run. We're fleeing the mystery bug that's got everyone laid out here in Salisbury. Pray we don't catch it and bring it back to Guatemala!
