Message to Tanners Mom

If your reading this...i'm going to take this time to inform you that two of our members have picked up Malaria...fun....
I know there is some stigma out there of what Malaria entails..but actually, in Africa, we've learned that it's just like having the flu. Jenna Loates got it 4 days ago, and is doing amazing, at this moment she is smiling beside me as i write this..she should be 100 percent in a day or two.
Our favorite mascot, Tanner Armstrong, has also caught the bite. He was pretty out of it for a couple days..but is doing much better as we speak.
He wants to let his mom know that HE LOVES HER, and he is doing way better, he is eating solid foods as of this morning, and he really wants to go swimming.

So, as we have all learned on this trip...no stress...They have received wonderful treatment from two separate doctors, who both feel that they will be perfectly well very soon.
Keep praying for our safety, and the speedy recovery of our team members..

Hey Tan, Glad to hear you finally got some solids into you, I was hoping you would try harder to get some solids into you, way to go, and keep fighting, you'll beat it, it just takes some time. Love you lots and can't wait for you to get home! xoxo

ATTABOY TANNER!!!
We just heard the great news that you and Jenna are feeling much better. What a tremendous finish to a fantastic trip. You guys are turning your world upside down and you're doing a super job of it too. We can hardly wait to hear all your stories when you get home. Have a fun and safe trip as you make your way home.

Hi Sara!! The whole family misses you like crazy. I hope you are having a great adventure, and hope you are well. I'm sorry to here about Jenna and Tanner, I hope they are well soon.
Unfortunately dad will not be here when you get back as he has to go up north for a couple of weeks for work, he leaves on Thursday, but auntie, Zac and Kaylee will be here when you get back to hear all your stories.
You also received a letter from your friend in Japan.
Please say hi to your grandparents in London for us.

P.S. You can leave the sleeping bag, the flashlight and whatever else over their it will probably help a family.

Love mom
