So good news and bad news.
I sent my laptop back to Bangkok with Clinton and the wonderful
girls of Team 61 brought it into an Apple store. What do you want to hear first… the good or
the bad.

Ok, I’ll say the good first.
They looked at the cereal number and everything that is wrong with it is
under warranty and will be fixed for free!!!
Bad news: it is a hardware problem (whatever that means) and nothing can
be recovered of my files and stuff.

That’s pretty good news to me! I have pictures backed up in a few places as
well as music, and all the other stuff doesn’t really matter, now I can have a
fresh start and begin organizing it how I should have in the first place! Praise Jesus that it still works.

We are leaving the orphanage Saturday night on an overnight
bus to Bangkok,
and then it’s off to an island for debrief.
I want to give a blanket apology to everyone who has sent e-mails and
received no replies, because although we have had internet in the house where
we live it is in inaccessible or awkward places (people’s bedrooms) so I
haven’t been on for more than a few minutes here and there. So if you got a reply consider yourself
loved… if not… it’s in the mail and you’re still loved.
