What a great way to organize and record! It's wild to think of the technological changes since Esther's time that make it possible to stay current with the 2012 Esther Expedition
in progress! Thank you Noel and Joann! You two make a good team! May God bless your trip and fellowship!

Psalm 90:16,17
"Let Your work appear to your servants
And Your majesty to their children.
Let the favor of the Lord our God be upon us;
And confirm for us the work of our hands;
Yes, confirm the work of our hands."
