As the time for the finish of the hike rapidly approaches, many different things have been going on. One of my friends has started a yard sale initiative in order to raise money for the H4S projects. Others have taken me grocery shopping as I begin to purchase massive amounts of Carnation Instant Breakfasts, granola bars, and Gatorade powder. Others have donated money. Family and friends have all sent encouragement. After several doctors appointments, various ailments I suffered from on the trail have been either permanently, or at least temporarily fixed, so that I will be arriving for the final 422 miles in peak condition.
This has also been a busy time for Sudan, now with six months until the referendum. A successful visit by representatives of the Sudan Council of Catholic Bishops, in the form of Bishops Deng and Adwok, two good friends of mine, helped to bring news of the current status of Sudan to the States. Catholic Relief Services arranged for their visits, and hosted them throughout their journeys. Below you will find the message of the Sudan Council of Catholic Bishops.
