Update

Hey gang,

Well, the daylight is fading in Hendersonville, TN.  The closest thing to me right now is a dwindling bag of garden salsa flavored Sun Chips, I just bought a copy of Flannery O'Connor's Complete Stories and the last time I saw an ugly baby was.. NEVER! Because I just spent the day with my completely-opposite-of-ugly nephew, Emery!

In other news, I leave tomorrow for Freetown, Sierra Leone - spending the summer there doing an internship.  If anyone would like me to bring them home a diamond or two just say the word and I'll drill a hole or two in my teeth.  And if you all would pray for me while I'm there, that'd be great.  I don't have a lot of details on what the organization I'm interning with expects me to do, so it's gonna be a fly by the seat of your pants kind of situation, which gives me the slightest of nerves going in.  Anyway, just wanted to update y'all, and I'm going to do my best to sound as cool as this when I get back:
