R.O.C.K in the USA

We have had an absolutely amazing time these past 3 weeks here in the states. We've been really busy traveling between the thumb and Southern Michigan but it was great. We had the opportunity to see so many family members and friends. It was wonderful. Although we're not looking forward to the extensive traveling we have ahead of us we are excited about returning to our village. It will be great to see our friends there again. Thanks so much to all of you who opened your homes to us and traveled distances to see us. We are truly blessed to have such good friends. Our time here has been very rejuvinating for us and has encouraged us to stay motivated and fully engaged this upcoming year. We have done a little bit of updating to this blogsite. We deleted some of the old postings and have put on quite a few new pictures in the photo gallery. Also, we want to put all of our contack info. on here again so you can stay in touch with us if you are so inclined. Our snail mail address is: Stephen and Heather Castle P.O. Box 120045 Kasempa, Zambia Africa Our phone number is 011-26-099-460-744. There are different plans you can use to make calling pretty cheap. Penny Talk, which my mom uses is like 15 cents a minute from a land line. To get that you call 1-877-736-6925 and can put minutes on a card. There's also www.zprepaid.com which is suppose to have cheap rates. Also, skype or other interned calling has worked to contact us as well as general international calling cards. We love you all and hope to be able to stay in touch throughout this next year!

So do you feel like you're "home" now? I hope it's going well for you! I hope you'll get to ride an elephant this year:) That'd be fun! Oh and Hezz, I wanted to tell you that we had a huge ice storm the other day, and a big tree crashed in our yard...anyways, we had lots of debree on the ground, so we had to sweep it off! I swept my front yard...I felt like a Zambian for a second.

Hi Steve and Heather!

I just wanted to remind you both that I still think you are SO WONDERFUL! I'm sorry I wasn't able to catch up with you guys while you were home but John and Carrie filled me on on some silly stuff (peanut butter) and some awesome updates. You are doing BIG things there! You are making your place and changing lives! I admire you both!

lots of love, bre hinkley
