A thought about communication…
June 17, 2008
I will attempt to update this blog every month, but with minimal internet availability I can’t promise much. Please feel encouraged to send me a letter or a package (I’m sure I will need a lot of encouragement and fun stories from home). You can write to me at:
Laura Ballard
Corps de la Paix
B.P. 10537
Niamey, Niger
Since the mail system in Niger can be sporadic, please date and number your letters for tracking purposes and write “Airmail” and “Par Avion” on the envelopes.

Your mom sent us the arrival notice of Niger. Your picture looks great. Looks like the sun is pretty bright. Anyway, glad you all arrived. The prayer chain prayers definitely helped get you there safe.
Will write more later. Granny
