hi hi hi

well just wanted to send a quick update about our whereabouts. kali and i just finished working with SIM in Mekelle and have spent the past 3 days in Addis visiting the Mother Teresea orphanage, hanging out with Mesfin, Alex, Sammie, and Ladet as well as the Cherokee guests. It was great to see them all again. What joy we had when we walked into the orphanage and Melkana, the little boy with downs, ran up to me with a big smile on his face, gave me a hug, and led me directly to the swing set, (where we spent hours during the month of december.) We are heading to Tanzania tomorrow to meet up with my parents, Frank Richardson, and Kali's mom to climb Kilimanjaro. We are so excited for the climb and have been training in Mekelle running 5 miles everyday, but are still a little nervous about the climb. So please pray for all our safety and health as we attempt this summit, and that it would just be a great time of fellowship with our families before we head off to Uganda at the end of our climb. My sweet father is posting our updates on my blog now, so it's up and running... www.ashleyzeiger@blogspot.com hope all is well in the motherland and that the beginning of spring is bringing good spirits.
