I thought the centerpieces were pretty creative. Tyrone would be proud.

Hurricane Wilma was able to find the tiny town of Puerto Castilla, Honduras where the Caribbean Mercy spent 6 months last year. Thanks Jeremy for finding these photos on the web! See here for the rest of the pictures.

Gateway Class Banquet
Yesterday ended the lecture segment of the Gateway Course. I had the opportunity to teach the last two days and give a charge to the participants at the banquet last night. Tonight they depart at 2:00 AM for a month-long field assignment in the Dominican Republic. I'm off to bed so that I can get up in three hours to wave them off.

Learning to make pupusas
What a treat! Lilian and Ciaran had a few of us over for an El Salvadorian specialty Saturday night. I felt I was back in the little village of Conchagua, El Salvador eating my fill of pupusas with cabbage slaw and hot sause. Mmmmm Mmmmm!

an early taste of winter
This beautiful winter wonderland caused us to miss our flight connection in Dallas leading to renting a car and getting to Lindale at 1:00 AM. Mom and Dad then had to drive to Texarkana the next day to retrieve cars and luggage and drive again to Lindale to deliver mine before finally heading to home in Magnolia. And they say that vacations are supposed to make one rested!...
Enroute to Denver
We were enjoying seeing the signs of snow on our drive to Denver where we were to fly back to Texas....until we drove into a blizzard! Wow! not the weather I'm accustomed to in October!

'till the cows come home
This herd of cows eventually grew so large that our car was stopped in the middle of the road on our way up to Taylor and Marie Perez's house in Cimeran, Colorado. I had flashbacks of driving in Central America, except the horses there are skinnier.

Quotes for the day
"Think of something only when it is time to think of it...you will exhaust your mind by trying to figure out God's will before the right time comes." - from 100 Days in the Secret Place by Gene Edwards.

Autumn in Colorado
I LOVE fall, and it was especially nice to soak up the colors driving from Denver to Grand Junction. There's something about having four seasons, I think, that fits the rhythms of life better than staying always in one.
ship friends Jerry and Jill Wedlake
God is the lover of my soul! He dropped a vacation in my lap through some friends inviting me to use their house in Colorado while they were gone. Notice the Colorado Monument right in their side yard! (next to the golf course!)I was able to visit with them one day before they flew to Korea.
