Jan 1 - Happy New Year

Happy New Year to all those following this blog.  I'm SUPPOSED to be arriving back in Guinea today but, due to visa problems, am having the opportunity to stay in Minnesota for another week or so.  Minnesota blessings?  Snow, no sweating, steamed crabs and Chinese food with friends yesterday, and watching the Florida Gators in the Outback Bowl in TV.  GO GATORS!  My friend, Sue, is weak and tired but *noticeably* better than she was when I got here a week ago.  Praise God.
