one day down, 27 months to go!

i just wanted to let you all know that i made it out to philly just fine.  our staging group is 67 people, and they're all really great.  i'm looking forward to getting to know everyone really well in the next two years.  
we are about to check out of our hotel now, get a shot and some malaria meds, then begin the trek to accra, ghana!  
i have no idea when i'll be able to update next, but everything is going great!

  3. My dad must be in your group! He is in his sixties with white hair and glasses. His name is Mike Butler and he is the best man I know(other than my husband, of course). Maybe you could say hello for me! I am praying for all of you and hope that all is great, fulfilling, and exciting!
