  1. Dear Cynthia,
    CONGRATULATIONS for what you are doing for the human being.
    God Bless your wonderful mission for our nation.

    From bottom of my heart I wish success to all of you.
    With love,

  2. Hi Bedros,
    Shnorhagal em for your kind words! I am excited to return again to Armenia this coming summer. I should tell you tho that I will have a 70 something on the team as well as an 80 something year old. So don’t discount your ability to go on a trip like this! If you are in good physical condition and can tolerate standing and walking for 20-30 minutes at a time, you could participate. I have learned over the years that these types of trips offer ways for everyone to contribute. We adjust the work for each person’s abilities.
    So keep it in mind. If you really want to do this and are in reasonably good health, you could probably go. And I guarantee you will enjoy your time there and feel very enriched and blessed by the people and their hospitality.
    Sincerely,
    Cynthia
