islamic moon

Hey everyone --
sorry the blogging has been less than adequate recently. We are now
sort of linked with the satellite email system; however, the promised
in-house connections have yet to materialize, so the only place to get
on is sitting outside the airplane hanger where the satellite dish is.
Now that the temperatures are dipping into the 40's at night, it isn't
quite as much fun to sit out there and email you all. Tonight there's
some planet sitting next to the moon making a picture of the islamic
flag in the sky. I have also been trying to research the southern
cross, which I think I managed to spy last night. And I looked us up on
Google Earth, which is pretty fun; you can see the hospital and airstrip
to the south of town when you look at Kasempa, Zambia. I even managed
to order Simpsons season 9 via amazon; I'll be curious as to when it
will arrive.

I saw that "islamic moon", too! Amazing that on opposite parts of the world, we both made a mental note of it.

I heard you and Jenny e-mailed. That would be awesome if you could see what she's doing - although it sounded like it was a long way away from you.

Thanks for keeping us posted at home about what you're doing. It breaks my heart to hear what these people have to go through. Thank you for taking care of them; you're doing an amazing job.
