The Glories of the Glorietta

Known as "Round abouts" in some places, these types of intersections are very popular here. It is hard to see from this photo, but this glorietta near our house has two lanes and traffic signals on it. People here drive really fast and don't hesitate to cut in on you or honk at you if you are not going as fast as they think you should. It's a bit hairy at first but you find yourself flying right in there without much thought after awhile. There is a four lane strip in the middle with arterial roads on each side of "Deiz y ocho de Marzo", the bigger of the two streets meeting here.

Eduardo and Annette

Here is a photo of a birthday party at our house for fellow missionary Andy Clark (on the right with the Kojack haircut). Eduardo and Annette and their family came over to enjoy some "Tres Leche" cake (three milks cake). I love it!

We have become pretty good friends with Eduardo and their family; they live right across the street. They have 4 children; Sophie 12, Karen 9, Eduardo 7, and Daniel is a newborn and made his entrance about a month ago. (You can see the portable baby crib in the background.) They have spent time showing us around the city and various points of interest.

Please pray for Eduardo as his mother is terminially ill. He has been going to work every day and staying with her every night at the hospital. She is a diabetic and has a virus on her brain. Pastor Rafael Santana and I were able to go visit her recently. Pastor was able to read the 23rd Psalm with her and to talk with her about placing her trust only in God. She is only 57 and is understandably fighting feelings of bitterness about having her life cut short. We were able to pray with them and continue to pray that the Lord will pour out His grace on her.

Big Mac

It's amazing what a few bags of dog food and a few months can do!! "Kenz" is a great dog and loves to retrieve. She is pretty wild due to not having any place to run right now except when I go jogging or the kids and I take her to the mountain. She actually got ran over by a car a few months ago but thanks be to God she was hurt very little. Very sore for a few days! We love her a lot.

Jethro Bodine and the cement pond

In our May newsletter I mentioned going to Autlan for a few days. One of the things we did was help Pastor Antonio pour the floors in 2 of the bedrooms of his home. It was a great time; just me and Brent doing some father-son time and Brent got to play with Nahum who is his age. (Daniela, Pastor Antonio's daughter, is sitting next ot Brent in the photo.) Pastor Antonio's wife fed us well; her homemade flautas are awesome! Good Spanish practice as well as learning more about cement finishing the Mexcian way. Pour the gravel and sand and cement into a pile and mix thoroughly. Bake on high for 30 minutes. No, wait that was the cake receipe. Let's see; oh yeah: add the right ratio of buckets of water once you have made a "pool" for it. Then mix thoroughly and either haul it our in buckets through the window or into the wheel barrow and down the hall. Piece a cake. I am looking forward to fellowshipping more with Pastor Antonio once we get to Autlan.
