Hey folks!

I hope this is the appropriate place to post this.

I have really enjoyed the super warm welcome you all have given me here and look forward to becoming more of a part of this beautiful community.

The reason I haven't been posting lately or been able to attend the clown chats is because I've been getting ready to go on a medical mission trip to eSikhawini, South Africa. Our departure date has arrived and we're leaving Friday morning and we'll be gone until the 27th of April. So if you're wondering about my upcoming silence, it's because I'm out of the country. I still can't believe God has given me the privilege of sharing the love of His Son with others so much in need.

I have been given the opportunity to entertain the children while they wait in line to see the doctors, so I'll be giving some of Fiddlestix McWhiskers' material some trial runs (out of makeup, of course). A huge number of them are HIV/AIDS orphans and may of them have HIV/AIDS themselves, so I look forward to hopefully give them a huge case of the giggles!

Please keep those we're helping in your prayers that they may feel some relief from their illness, or better yet, that God might heal them completely and that we might be able to share His love with them in a way that will bring them closer to Him.

There is a blog for the mission if you're interested in more information. Some of it is from last year and some is from this year.
It's Live From South Africa

I look forward to re-joining the fun here when I get back.
