We are so excited for both Henry and Zumah as they head out into the world to follow their dreams - dreams that all of you made possible. We are sad to see them go but we know that God is working in their lives and that they will both do great things.
We have decided that we don't even deserve friends like the two of them. Just the other day, we were out of water. They hadn't filled our water tank in days so we had been showering at the director's house. While we were out, Zumah filled the ENTIRE tank by filling jerrycans up one by one and hoisting them up to our tank on a string. We came home and scolded him for going to all that trouble for us. He said, "I didn't want you and Krystin to have to walk all the way up to the director's house to shower again." (Its only like a 2 min walk.)
We decided that we would make the guys facebook pages. The main reason was so that by the time we left, they would know how to use it and we could stay in contact. The other reason was so that you guys would have the opportunity to get to know these guys. Many of you have become their friends and let me tell you, they LOVE it.
Zumah and my friend Julenne started messaging back and forth. Julenne has cancer. Well actually, she HAD cancer. She has just finished her chemo treatments and is now waiting for the final scans to tell her she's set to jet. Zumah heard that many of Julenne's friends were shaving their heads so that they could all grow their hair back with her. Zumah immediately decided to join in. Here is the footatge:
Zumah immediately broke into song, following his great and noble deed.
Hi Travis, This is your Gramma. I'm in FL with my friend, Eve, and it's Easter Sunday. We're going to watch the Shuttle in the morning. Hope it's clear at 6:20 when it's supposed to leave. I'll be giving your mother some money to send to you. Please save some to eat on. I won't be sending any more, so please use it wisely. I know you want to help everyone, but your Gramma is going to have eye surgery, and medication is very expensive. I'm sending you $100--$50 for April and $50 for May. Hope you're keeping your eyes open for those snakes! I'll be waiting to hear your stories and seeing your photos of the kids and your house. I love you and pray for you. Love, Gramma PS: Did you send Gramma Ruth a thank you note?
