Some Pics!
Hey, got the first picture up. Wow, that only took 10 minutes to upload each one. But hey, I'll take what I can get.
So there I am, sitting at the computer in Eric's office (a small room adjacent to his house that's probably more comparable to a sauna than anything) working on the lessons I'd been assigned. I am doing Heaven and Hell, Justice and Judgment, and the Bible. These lessons are what we will be bringing out into the bush and will be the major part of our ministry. We made a list of all the different things that could be taught, narrowed it down to fit our time frame, and then distributed the topics amongst the three of us. The laptop I am using belongs to Eric, but as you can see, an external monitor has been connected. We didn't do that for the bigger screen, but rather because the laptop screen died recently. So that's cool I guess.
The other picture is of Bryan, 19, who is a friend of Eric's from his home church. He's a great guy, and we are all getting along well.
And as you'll see, he is working on a MacBook, which I have thought about stealing and running off with. If you know me well, you might know the unending love I have for anything Apple produced, coupled with a hate towards Mr. Gates and his evil plan to rule the computing world with a inferior operating system. Vista's advertisements read, "The wow starts now". "Wow..." I thought to myself..."It look just like Mac OSX!" I'm glad to say that I left the country just before the release of that overpriced and overrated piece of work. Long live Macintosh!
But I digress.
So yeah, that's Bryan.
We're back from Nairobi once again, and with us we have the proper travel documents that will allow us entry into Sudan. And it looks like we will be driving after all, through Northern Uganda. Needless to say, I am very excited. We might take the truck, but we will have to get insurance for both Uganda and Sudan. So that might end up being quite expensive. The other option is to take a bus, but the nice things about the truck is we could sleep in there comfortably, and we are free to travel at our own pace, say, if we wanted to spend a few days in Uganda instead of just pass through. And I would like that. So we'll see. But for now, we continue preparing for our Bush ministry.

Hey Tony,
I love hearing about your day to day. It's funny to see you in t-shirt and shorts - we can't get warm here with ten layers on!
We'll be writing prayers on the cement floor of the new building this weekend - it's really coming along.
Miss you much....know that you're covered in prayer by many.
Mom
tony,
I was just thinking about you today at GROZONE. I was watching your class walk by, and I missed seeing you!

Hi Tony!!
What????? DSL in the middle of Kenya??? We can't even get that here in the burbs of Paw Paw! We do have a few things you don't though, two feet of snow, frigid temps, and cloudy days. I must say your trip to Sudan makes Kalyn's trip to the Upper Peninsula in winter seem like a stoll on the Lake Michigan shore in summer.
We are praying for you with Water Street coffee on our breath!

hey brother.
hope all is well over in nairboi.
i bet you didn't get a snow day today like us back in the land of lincoln.
we are all praying for your stay there; for safety, submission, to keep faith, opportunities, & plently of miracles of salvation.
hey, you should record you own movie, but it can be called "invisible tony", where you wear camo and run around sneaking up behind people.
or not.
peace be with you
Hey tony i hope your doing great over there...u gota lot back home here prayin for you so your already on the winning team...!
Whoa, momma, lookit you. On a computer. In a country.

Hey Tony!
How's the weather?
I bet it was nice and warm out there today! We're in the middle of a blizzard over here, we're supposed to get 8-12 inches by midnight! It's crazy! The only nice thing about it is that Minooka actually had to call off school!
heehee, well... things over here are doing well, but LOST nights aren't the same without you! I guess when you come back that's all you and David are going to be doing, lol.
Anywho, Valentine's Day is tomorrow! Any cuties in Nairboi you plan on making a paper heart for?!
I know I got my boyfriend something... oh, yea, hey, do you know him? I think you two used to go to school together, but I'm not sure. Well, he's tall, dark, and...errrr... handsome? heeheehee! I don't know if he told you yet, probally did, but you get to hear it again!
Back to V-Day: I'd totally tell you what it was I'm making/getting him, but he could read this at any moment! That would totally ruin the suprise element!
Soooooooooooo... you should totally stay safe and healthy and update as much as you can!

Hi Tony!
There is tons of snow here! I hope that I hope that it melts before you come home, because if it doesn't, you'll have trouble getting up the driveway!
I miss you in Grozone -- it's not as much fun without you!
We pray for you every morning!
From, Zach B.
Hey Tony
Wow it is so awesome that you are in Kenya doing work for God. I have to hand it to you, I don't know if I would be able to sacrifice that much of my time. But hey when God calls you to do something you know it's right. Well keep up the awesome work Tony. I know you are a great influence to many of us here. I will be praying for you.
