Congratulations to you all. Loved hearing you Bonnie. Love Patty

To Patty and family

I am now back in Moshi and we fly out tonight. The Safari was great and i got to see lots of animals quite close up. Balati was quite the experience. i'm so glad that you talked me into going. I am now an honorary elder and chief in the Masai tribe. They did an awesome welcome for us. The kids were so great. We haned out packets to over 500 children. i miss you so much and can't wait to get home. I have so many stories to share. Say hi to everyone. Oh, one of the most enjoyable things I did was share our famiy pictures with the teachers and tribe leaders. They asked all sorts of questions about ages etc. I love you, Jack

Carroll and Chris

There are not adequate words to express our admiration and respect for you and your fellow climbers. What an extraordinary journey! Can't wait to see you and hear first hand about your journey of inspiration!!

Psalm 61
Hear my cry, O God; listen to my prayer. From the ends of the earth I call to you, I call as my my heart grows faint; lead me to the rock that is higher than I. For you have been my refuge, a strong tower against the foe [cancer, loss of health, death, loss of loved ones, broken hearts, broken lives.....].

Love to all from the Stevens family,

Congratulations to all-

Tina and JOI team

AWESOME! You made it...we knew you would! The kids have been really interested in the progrss you have been making and Alex's response is probably the best, "Whoa, that must be really hard to climb that mountain!" When I explained to him why and for who you were doing that for, he quickly realized the importance of this journey for you and the rest of the group. Your hearts must be filled with a special feeling that none of the rest of us will probably ever know...Congratulations on completing (or maybe it is just starting) your journey! See you in Rochester! Safe travels back.

Love, Jenn and the Davison family

Kathy, Laurel and all
