Many, many thanks

We are off in about 48 hours to Kenya...and we will take so many of you with us...all of you who have brought in the children's shoes for the African Babysteps project...over 425 at this point...and nearly 60 handmade or knitted baby blankets for the Swaddled in Grace project! The generosity and support of this church constantly overwhelms me. Most of all I have been moved by great warm hugs of best wishes and reminders that we will be traveling with your prayers. We hope to rock many babies, learn about the many ways the people there are caring for each other...and we promise to bring back pictures and stories...please ask us to tell you what we saw and learned. Many blessings to you all while we are gone...and thanks again for what so many of you did to make a difference in a child's life. We really do carry you with us!!! carla leaf
