A Note to Sheri

Tuesday Evening

My wife, Sheri, has not heard from me for three days. Verizon Wireless guaranteed me that I my phone would work (for $1.51 a minute) in Honduras. It doesn't. Neither does the phone of any other Verizon customer on the mission. For the first two days, there was no spare time to drop by the local Internet café and send her an email. Today, I got the opportunity when I posted blog entries, but found that, although I can receive email from my server, for some reason I cannot send any. I decided that I would ask the owner of the café to use the café's email address, but I was without a translator and could not describe what I wanted to do.
I finally ended up using the café's cell phone, only to reach Sheri's voice mail (it was well after 10 pm EDST).

So this blog entry is to tell my wife that I am safe and healthy and having the experience of a lifetime. And I cannot wait to tell her all about it.

I love you.
Robert

Thank you so much for your commentary. Although I have had the joy of a brief phone call from my wife, Susan Kolmer, the details you provide help fill in the gaps and focus our prayers for the whole team. May God bless your effort each day!

Robert,

Turn on your phone. Verizon has fixed the service or lack of problem.
