Kyle moved out of the Hilton today, and is back at the mission compound, so unfortunately his emails will be a little shorter. He had a very long day today, so he just wrote a quick email before going to bed. Of course, you know I always cut out the personal stuff before I post (we're doing team parenting by email, so there is always lots of stuff about the kids!). But here is what they did today. I wish he had written more, but there are several people sharing a computer at the compound, so emails have to be short and sweet.
From Kyle:
Today, we went to one of Mary Joy's facilities and it was an amazing experience. We went with a group of volunteer caregivers who go out and provide basic care for bed-ridden AIDS victims. We saw a woman just about dead. She was too weak to get up. Her husband has died of AIDS. She has one 7 year-old son who goes to school and then comes home and cares for her. She is soon scheduled to begin taking the ARV's. Hope it's not too late.
Goodnight and I love and miss you all,
Kyle
