Heute ist Erntedankfest und ich bin gerade nicht in Denver. Mein Vater, meine stiefmutter, meine kleine schwester und ich sind nach Omaha Nebraska gefarhen. Das ist einen anderen Bundland hier in Amerika, ungefahr 8 stunden nord-ost von Denver. Wir sind gestern nachmittag angekommen. Wir wollten doch früher in Omaha sein aber meine eltern waren beim schlafen, als ich um 4 uhr morgen bei denen war. Sie haben gesagt, halb fünf werden wir losfarhen ...

... Omaha. On the drive up, I received an offer on the house and it is now sold! Today I finished booking the details of leaving South America and traveling completely around the east coast of Australia. I begin this adventure on February 14th, Valentine's Day. Rio De Janiero, Brazil for Carnival is my first stop. People keep asking me if I am scared to be doing this trip alone. Of course, but my drive to see the ...

... serious trials but we endure with hope for what the future offers. Optimism is a trait shared by the Saints today. We have faith. We know that the future will be welcoming. We will endure.

... a well known, respected resident of Omaha, and was very excited to accept the invitation to guest direct the Choir and Orchestra at tonight’s concert. He told the Choir that he felt deeply honored to have been invited, and that he had been a great fan of the Choir since he sang in a boy’s choir as a young boy.

... with. I have included a picture of the team putting the cable on a scale and pulling off enough cable to make weight of a 70 lbs checked bag. Anthony has an "elite status" (can't remember the name) on United Airlines from all of his trips to China so he is allowed 3 70 lbs bags. The rest of us are just allowed 2 50 lbs bags each. When we were done pacing we had 4 70 lbs bags and 6 50 lbs. If you are counting, you will ...

... for 45-60 minutes because of the weather at Cuzco. By the time we arrived the weather was great. Although it was rainy season while we were there we never got rained on at a time when we were trying to see something and we were able to really enjoy Machu Picchu.

Brian took us to the airport where we met the Kings. After checking in we all had lunch together...Jim, Carol, Chad, Todd, Joyce, Brian, and me. After lunch the boys took off and we headed to security. Our plane was a little late leaving, but nothing major.

We are to leave tomorrow and it is snowing in Omaha. The forecast

flight is scheduled to leave at 3:15 so we may be okay if the morning
flights don't back up and if the flight comes in from Dallas so it can
return to Dallas. This is shaping up to be like the time we went to

I hope you can see the beauty of the lights in my photos - I am not a skilled photographer so I don't do the scenes any justice. Tomorrow I am off to Washington D.C. before getting the train to Richmond, Virginia to stay with a good friend - Carol-lee Aquiline and her son, Aeden. I am looking forward to seeing them again. Hope you all are well and I wish you all a very merry Christmas. Leonie
