We completed day two of staging in Philadelphia today. We head to clinic tomorrow morning for some shots and then we'll be off to the airport where we'll leave for Paris at 6:45pm. On Saturday morning we'll arrive in Paris, and take off for Togo in the afternoon. Orientation over the last two days has been long, but getting to know the other 29 people in our Togo class has been fun. There's actually one other married couple - we were surprised to see them! The demographics of the class (for my demographer friends) is generally younger than us with one exception. We heard today that the oldest current PC volunteer in Togo is 37 - we suppose we'll bring the age average up some more (the current average is 25).
Thanks to those who have posted messages in the last few days - we appreciate your support! Please keep in touch and let us know what's going on back home.
A final tip that we learned today: if you want to send mail or packages, it helps get them delivered if you draw a religious symbol on the envelope or address it to "Sister Bree Gunter" or "Brother Joe Gunter" - we'll let you know if it works!
The next time you hear from us, we'll be in Togo (finally...)...

Hot August night
And the leaves hanging down
And the grass on the ground smellin' sweet
Move up the road to the outside of town
And the sound of that good gospel beat
Sits a ragged tent
Where there ain't no trees
And that gospel group tellin' you and me
It's Joe, Brother Joe, say
Brother Joe's Traveling Salvation Show
Pack up the babies and grab the old ladies
And ev'ryone goes, 'cause everyone knows
Brother Joe's show

No internet? I hope all is well with you Sister Bree. I think of you guys often and send anti-spider positive thoughts your way.
Hugs,
Ann
