On my way back to Madagascar

Well I arrived in New York yesterday and will be here for 10 days. I leave for Madagascar on August 22nd and arrive on the 24th. I am very excited to get back. The last couple weeks were very busy with packing and re-packing then sending packages by mail and still need to send another because Southafrican Airways only lets your cary-on to weigh 18 pounds. As I traveled yesterday my cary-on without my laptop was 25 pounds. I sure don't know how I collected so much stuff. Hopefully next time it won't be so bad. LOL. This weekend I will go to buffalo to visit with my friends Beth and David Larson. They were the pastorial team at the church when I first started there. I will update again when I get back to Mad.
