Dear Ryan,
I am a friend of Mike Smitley and I have had the privilege of reading your first book, as well as over half of your second so far. First may I say, thank you for your work. As a missionary first, as an author next, and as an inspiration third. I have been to Uganda twice on short term mission trips and can at least begin to relate to some of your experiences. I wanted to let you know about something I came across recently. Reading through your second book, you mention the constant need for clean water. There is a process called SODIS that is making a huge change in the world and I wanted you to know about it if you were not aware. http://www.sodis.ch/index_EN is the website. (not mine as listed above) Keep up the fight and may God bless you and your wife and boys. I hope this can help.
