Dad and Andrea,

WOW! I got y'alls package!

I got the great pictures, even though my computer has been pretty slow (being loaded down with my pictures) and the movies cut out, but they were all so great to see!!! Along with Sarah's great letters (she sends tons!) and the pictures in California, I almost feel like I could have been there. And Mel's house is gorgeous! I know she's so excited to move into her own place. What were all those guitars with Brian? Are they from a store he works at or did he really start business with China?!

And, a camera?! I just opened it, so I still have to play with it a little bit, but it's wonderful! Mom wanted to see if we could fix my old one so I mailed it home, but now I can just leave it at home for someone else or have another backup, since it seems these like to break here in Benin.

Thanks so much for thinking of me. Well I know you always are and are very good at letting me know. So thanks for all the birthday gifts. I happened to get a package from mom at the same time. It felt like Christmas! I'm super excited about the jumpdrive. It's already got my presentation on it and I'm mailing it home for you guys to see. I CAN'T WAIT! You will finally get all my photos. Most of them are from training. When you download it, send the drive back and I'll have the next presentation ready to send you. I'm about to go on vacation to Ghana so the next one will have more of Save as well as my trip to Ghana on it. We'll just keep mailing it back and forth. It'll be a great communication tool.

It took about a month to get here, so expect something in about one month from now.

Thanks again. Miss y'all, Sara
