The sheets were exciting to the patients, as were the fish heads they were given for lunch. YUM

We tried to only take pictures of those who wanted to have pictures taken. Most had fingers and/or toes missing, for others the disease attacked their faces. Still others were in worse shape.

We took 100 sheet sets that first visit and are following up with 20 more, plus copies of the pictures we took.

Heart felt thanks go out to those good folks who funded this project. You made 120 patients very happy and gave us experiences we shall never forget.

The Monitor Lizards I mentioned to be about 4 to 5 ft. in length. I forgot about the tail, make that about 7 ft. long. Very cool. Although this lizard does resemble the Komodo dragon it is much slighter with a less powerful tail but check out those claws. Someone needs a pedicure!!

An addition to our Palawan trip. Our traveling companions sent us some more pictures. The view at the river entrance and exit, and a picture inside of the under ground river.

January would not be complete without this celebration. Yes, 39 again. Thanks for birthin me mom, thanks for putting up with me dad.

Our girls got together and threw me a party. That was the best present I could get. Thanks to Larry and Connie for that one.

We continue to try to keep folks safe here. Sometimes they do crazy stuff like go to under ground rivers. My husband always says "Go ahead, I will stay here to write the report" Love to you Elder Johnny.
