Olen's Go Bag

So since the church agreed to let me stay alone in Tchad five weeks ago, I agreed to have a "Go Bag", meaning I could walk into my house and walk out of my house five seconds later with a bag of essentials should I be notified of a reason to evacuate.

Editor's note:  Olen's coming to America on Thursday to meet his very pregnant wife (that's me!), so shouldn't need this Go Bag much longer.  My parents, Rollin and Dolores Bland, are returning to Chad tomorrow.  We're planning on returning in January, post baby and OB oral boards.
