| Message | As I read your recent words I wondered: counting from when you first arrived in Niger, how many gallons of water have flowed past that beautiful, tranquil spot where you sat on the Niger River on 7 February? And where are all those gallons and gallons of water now? Whose garden are they watering, and whose cattle drink them? How many times, in that blink of an eye since you arrived, has that same gallon of water served to benefit someone?
And how about all the many people (Nigerians (sp?), and fellow PCV’s, and other expatriates, and…) whose lives you have touched and enriched, since you first arrived in Niger? Where are they now? And what are they doing? Who are they with? How many other lives have they in turn enriched? How many times has your energy and warmth been multiplied? How much good you have done, and you are just getting started.
We look forward to seeing you and hope you have a safe journey. There is much to be done back here also. Your Pacers need help and then there's the Colts. Stroh |
