Well, in 10 days I'll be leaving for Zimbabwe for my 2nd mission. I'm very excited to be seeing the people in the village. Word has gotten to us that the people are suffering in a way they haven't before. There has been no food delivery since September. The inflation rate is 4000%. There is a new currency since July, and people heard that the inflation rate was going to skyrocket, so they bought as much as they could from the limited supplies in the stores, so now the shelves are bare. I wonder how we will find bread to distribute to the children at lunchtime. I don't know quite what to expect. More to follow...I've got to get packing!
