Finally everything was ready. The guys didn't waste any time, as soon as the forms were copied and filed, they were moving! Those of us who worked all day scrambling supplies and documents together for them sent them off with mixed emotions. We're thrilled at their courageous rise to the call, but we'll all miss them terribly. We may be Buddhist, but we're not without attachment...They took off a little after 4 pm today. Say prayers for their safe return and successful journey!
