Todd was gleefully hoping that I would get a full appreciation for the squatty potties; however I eluded his expectation by finding a Western toilet. (Ha,ha) He also forgot that I always come prepared with my own toilet paper having been raised a good outdoors woman. I think that I am closer to recovering from jet lag as well. If you are praying, thank you so, so, much. The keyboard here is different due to the Turkish language so typing is slightly more challenging. To our children, we really miss you and love you immensely. A big thanks to all of our families who are caring for you. Kids I told Dad he could not climb Mt. Ararat and he is being good. You are great kids: keep up the good work.

Well, it has been a good day. Beautiful weather.
As I stood up on top of the tell for Lystra, it was just before I heard the call to Muslim prayer. Interesting.

Kristie, Mariah and Macaiah spent Monday afternoon playing with Savannah and Emma having a wonderful time today. Tuesday evening your four enjoyed celebrating Linda’s 30th at her house with about 20 or more people. We enjoy both of your comments on Turkey. Elon
What? You told Todd NO to Ararat?!? Oh thou wicked woman – GRIN! I bet he was crushed. I bet he could have simply jogged up it in a few minutes…….. crimany, can’t a guy have a little fun on vacation? LOL!
Sounds fun! I’m looking forward to hearing all about it when you guys return.
Best,
Kerry (holding the MUSeum here in Idaho down)
