new blog

Hi everyone. Jerry had this great idea to set up a blog for Derek. We will be posting some of his letter's and pictures and some of our own feelings and observations during the time Derek is out on his mission. Jerry and I will be caring for this blog. Derek will only know about it and look at it like you, so that he can devote his time to his mission. We are hoping to turn this into a book at the end of Derek's mission, so that he has all of his memories in his book. Hopefully this will work out as we desire it to.
