Heading home

It is Saturday early morning here in Mongolia, Stacy and Erica are still asleep. I thought I would just jot a note before the chaos begins. We have been so blessed by so many people it is hard to put into words. I want to personally thank all that donated items and monetary gifts to help bless the children of Mongolia. This is a trip that will forever be with me. I believe Stacy mentioned in an earlier post that one thing we are going to be working on when we get home is buying a few pairs of orthopedic shoes for the special needs children at the I.S. (this is the "baby orphanage that is run by the government, where my son Jack lived) The Dr. there has also requested a few items that they are unable to get here in Mongolia. Hydrocortizone cream with aloe and some iron tablets are a few things. I will be shopping for those things and shipping them after I get home. Stacy said it takes about 3 weeks for them to arrive via the postal service.
We have been adding pictures at the end of each day, sorry that we have not gotten detailed on the days events. It is a whirlwind and we intent to post more details after arriving home and settling down. We did accomplish everything that we had intented to while here and hopefully shared the love and spirit of Christmas with the people of Mongolia. We were told over and over,"Thank you for coming here while it is soooo cold" Coming in December when the temps are not friendly really helped establish some trust and respect in what we hope becomes a long term relationship.
