Some are really funny - you have a parrot for a niece -no matter what you say, she mimmicks, you should hear her say :Ninel ...doing?" as we call to her dad to ask what he's doing? and you should hear her say aunty Lycia - today I spent about an hour with her and the computer on my lap showing her all the pics and blogs of Aunty Lycia who is on a "big boat"... and she loved all the babies on your big boat.....

Enjoy your last week hon, and don't be too sad... I know this has been an amazing time, and that there is much gratitude in your heart for all that has been done for SL, by the Lord and the ship, and your wonderful team mates...and you. We are trusting that there will be much permanent fruit for the Kingdom harvested as a direct result of what has been done these past 10 months.
