More pictures from Chad 2

Beautiful neighbor children, neighbor homes. Libby has a knack for taking close-up pictures of insects. Strangely beautiful (I wont post the spider one, I don't find that beautiful in the least!) I love the neighbor women in their colorful dresses.

New pictures from Libby!

Hi all -
Alex Flude, who is living here now, made a surprise visit to Chad a couple weeks ago and brought home pictures and letters from Libby. So exciting for us!! Thank you Libs! I talked to her this morning and she said that it was "cool" - only in the 90's with a cool breeze blowing. She says for sure she is staying an extra year, which will make her coming home date, August of 2011! We miss her like crazy and live for her phone calls and letters. She as well really loves getting letters and packages from home.

She wanted me to tell everyone that it's hard for her to get online for facebook or email so it's hard to keep in touch. She says "Hi" to everyone! :-)

Here are some of the most recent pictures. Heartbreaking poverty and breath taking beauty...
