We're back.

Last Tuesday was a day of nineteen hours of daylight! We had good travels on Air France all the way back to Atlanta where Mom and Dad picked us up and drove us to Valdosta. Good spirits, good meal at the original Dwarf House Chick Fil A, good conversations, and a great nap. We've conquered the jet lag.

We're now preparing to go back to Texas for the rest of the month of May for Abilene Christian's Mission Forum. We have a book to read and review before then. We've had good days of rest, viewed Ice Age 2, had good family time, dinner with Jerry and Lora, a doctor visit for me, a salon visit for Alicia, a day of yard work, a nice seafood dinner, and a four mile walk.

We are still praying toward our decision and ministry path. We haven't lost the lesson from another culture, being strangers in a foreign land. We can't think of any decision as permanent-- nothing in this life is. My prayer is for faith and obedience.



Me and Alicia at the Forest. See all the pretty yellow flowers about? We were leaving on the May-day holidays, on the verge of Spring.




Alicia is prettier than the flowers, I know, but I thought we would make them look good if she stood in front of them.




We owe a lot of gratitude to Grady and Lena Bryan. They were aquaintances when we went over, but they are now dear friends. We love them.
