Let it Snow, Let it Snow, Let it Snow

Yes, it is snowing in Richmond. It has been beautiful today with the snow coming down. It was so nice to walk in the falling snow to lunch, and as I sit here and look out the windows of the quad it has started to snow again. We were hoping for some snow before we left Richmond, and our wish has been granted.

Good news. Last Friday Sandy and I went back to Washington to pick up our visas at the Peruvian Consulate and we got them. It was an interesting cultural experience as everything was in Spanish, but we met the most wonderful Peruvians who helped us through the process. Since we now have our visas, our airline tickets can be purchased. It looks like we will fly from Birmingham to Lima on January 2, 2008.

Things are beginning to wind down here and we are looking forward to being home on December 20, and seeing everyone. Pray for us that we can focus these last two weeks, and not have our minds on packing for home.

We will see everyone soon.

Alan and Sandy Stone
