Dear Friends and Family

So, when I sent my last e-mail, I found out that some of you were able to view the attached pictures but some couldn't see them.  SO MUCH FOR THINKING I KNOW HOW TO E-MAIL.  So after much thought, I decided to try my hand a doing a blog.  I'll still e-mail and respond to friends and family that e-mail.  But this will be another tool to stay in touch with our friends.  So, for those of you that couldn't see the pictures, here is my e-mail.......

Hi Everyone:

So, after a lot of thought, I think this will be the last e-mail to update everyone regarding the Hughes Family antics.  I’m probably just going to set-up a blog, e-mail the link to all of you, and then just let you know when it’s updated.  But, don’t hold me to that.  So for now, I’m still communicating via e-mail. But, sadly for you it’s time again for a Hughes Family update.  For any of you that might not remember who we are – think Squirrel Pin at the International Convention – and that’s us.

I know we’re not in Bolivia yet, but wanted to give everyone an update on our life.  Like all of you the month of August was busy doing the Special Campaign to distribute information about JW.org. What a great month all of Jehovah's people had in being involved in the campaign!  And I've heard the response to our tract campaign has been amazing.

Our offical date for leaving the U.S. is October 16th and we we've been trying to visit friends and family to say our Good Byes.  We recently visited some friends of our that live in Ohio.  We were with them for 4 days and it went by way too fast.  For those of you that may not know, my youngest is constantly drawn to animals.  So, here she is forcing her unwanted affection on a chicken. POOR CHICKEN!

 Our friends live in the country, and so for us, it was fun just preaching in their territory, and seeing different farm animals.  Here is a picture of all our kids together after meeting (they are always being silly), and Priscilla horse back riding.  For me, it was a bit too many animals with their animal smells.  I know, I know, I had better get used to it before going to Bolivia. But for at least the next 5 weeks, I'll stay a city gal!

 

Connor arrived back in Bolivia -- safe and sound.  I will admit I'm feeling a little sad at him leaving. Our house is looking pretty empty these days, and for any of you that ever want to come and visit us, you are welcome.  So, that's all the News from the Hughes.  Look for my next update after we're in Bolivia. Take care and please keep in touch.

Love, the Hughes Family
