THANK YOU!

This message is for you! Yes, YOU! If you have helped us in any way shape or form to get ready for Malawi, this is a THANK YOU for you! You are the reason we can do something like this with our lives! We are but humble servants of our Lord, and our service in the Peace Corps is the product of everything that everyone has done for us and our dedication to go into the Peace Corps!

You’ve heard it before, but some people have overlooked it multiple times... soooo!

COME ONE, COME ALL to the Keah and Bryan’s, Kiwi and Chadaux’s, leaving for Malawi extravaganza! There will be clowns and elephants, lions and tigers and bears there will be food, fun and Fabulous Fluffy..... ummmm... man I was on a roll and couldn’t think of anything to go with Fluffy...

Ok... we just wanted to let you all know you should come by and see us at either of our two going away parties. The dates and stuff are as follows:

February 10, 2007 Saturday in Oklahoma City, come and go as you please starting at 1:30pm to 7:30pm. This will be at the Roggow's House at 7204 S Douglas Ave. 73139
February 11, 2007 Sunday in Enid will be a potluck after the Sunday service at Immanuel Lutheran Church, which is really in Breckenridge.

Oh... and so sorry.... all that stuff about lions and tigers and bears and all that other stuff... its not really true!... We just wanted to get your attention... The main attraction at this little shindig is Keah and Bryan... if you want the lions and tigers and bears the circus should be rolling into a town near you very soon! OR come visit us very soon in Malawi!
