Why am I doing this?

I have to admit that until about 6 months ago I knew very little about Haus Edelweiss. I knew it was a place in Austria where my friend Kelly Brooks' parents had volunteered for many years. When Kelly, Robin, and Claudia first invited me to join them the summer of 2010 as a volunteer, my first impulse was "no way"...too far, too long, too many complications. But after praying about it and being encouraged by Randy to go, I decided to join these longtime friends on this adventure!
