Call Me Please

Hi Friends
I have minimal access to the internet( not sure how much as of yet) but know that I am thinking of you. My phone cell # is 011-256-75-297-3883 . I am 11 hrs ahead of Calf.
9 hrs ahead of AR. And 8 hrs ahead of NYC and PA.
It seemed to cost about 15 cents a minute for Carol from phone to phone. Free fromComputer to Computer on Skype and quite cheap (a few cents ) from Computer to my phone..
I am very sad because of the death of my dear friend Becky Self, and ask your prayers for her husband Bert and son Jonathan. and mother and all her friends (including me)on Tuesday around 11 am (AR. ) when she will be laid to rest. At St. Francis Episcopal Church in Heber Springs.

Blessings to all

Yikes, I can Skype!!!

I just set up a Skype account. Next will be trying it out in Uganda, where at best I'll just have dial up available.



If you have a Skype account--share your # with me. If not set one up(it is free), so we can chat.

I understand we can talk via our computers or I can call your cell phone or land line.

Uganda here I come--ready or not!

No Friends, I am not driving to Uganda. In fact my car is one of many things I have given up to make this journey.


I enclosed this photo taken from inside my car , viewing the California Coast, to symbolize my moving on to the next adventure in my life.
My home is rented, my car given to Rebecca Wilson Southard and all but two 50 lb bags of my possessions are in storage. It is indeed time to board British Airways to Entebbe, Uganda via London ---Feb.12th----arriving Valentines Day!
I just returned from a whirlwind trip to AR.
I drove there, visiting friends along the way and flew home on monday. Now all the last minute errands while I spend my last few days at the Mission House in Los Angeles.

My email and blog will remain the same, but I will have a new cell # in Africa. When I know it you will too. Perhaps I'll even learn to skypt and we can chat computer to computer for a small amount of money. We'll see-smile.
More soon
Marie
