    WOW…I was overwhelmed with all your information so I can only imagine your reactions and transitions. We are thinking about you! Please let us know if you are in need of anything. We would LOVE to send a care package.

    We had the wonderful opportunity to spend an evening with Erin and the barn. It was a fun night of hot dogs, pumpkins and hot chocolate.

    The leaves continue to change and the temperature is now down in the thirties at night. What is your temperature range?

    LOVED seeing your smiles and keep saving the world. You really can make a difference. Tim wants to give a shout our to BIG SEXY!

    LOTS of LOVE!!

    Hey you two,

    This is fantastic. I love the pictures, and like Kim, I’m so impressed by the amount of information you were able to post in just one night.

    Kim is right too in that many of us want to send care packages. How do we do that? What do you need besides paper and chocolate?

    So proud of what you’re doing I could burst.

    Love you lots,
    Judy

    Dearest Jeff and Alex,

    I may not have mentioned this explicitly before but just want to put it out there that I think we can do with more fantastic, enterprising people like you guys who are ready to go out there and give it your best to help the world spin on smoothly, in your own little way. I think it is very commendable and wish you all the best in your endeavor. It goes without saying that I will do what I can, should you have anything I can do from here.
    Also, can you post your mailing address so that we can send you stuff?

    much love,
    Bads.

    Seeing as how Alex and Jeff have not posted an address, I would encourage you to send their care packages to me. I like mixed nuts, Nutter Butters, and stuffed animals.

    And when I see these two The Gambians upon their return, I promise to share everything. Except the Nutter Butters.

    Good day.

    I am intrigued by the experience you are having in Gambia. Alex, I work with your mom and she told me about your blog. The pictures and information are very impressive.

    Keep up the good work.

    - Dionne
