Well…we just got back from Naples. The meeting with the group went great, and I think we are going to have a pretty good trip to Mexico with them. They have a great attitude about doing whatever it is that is necessary, so that should work out fine. We even got to stop at some outlet malls on the way, so it was a good 2 days.
This weekend, we are on a road trip to Naples, Florida, to meet with the group of young people they are taking to Mexico in early July. On the way there, we stopped at an outlet mall to look around, and we bought Nathan some sunglasses (and a bathing suit). Tomorrow afternoon, we have a meeting with the group, and then we will be going back home to spend Father’s Day with our dads. It’s a quick trip, but it’s good to be out of the “normal routine.”
We bought our tickets today to go back to Mexico. We will be leaving on July 27th, a day after our 8th anniversary. We bought the tickets today so they wouldn’t get more expensive than they already were. So, now we have a return date. It will be difficult to leave family again, but we have a lot of work to do there. We will enjoy the next few weeks of being back in the USA.
Janell’s grandma moved today closer to our part of Florida. She used to live near Orlando, so it’s good to have her closer to us when we are home. We went over there tonight to be with all of the family at her new house. It’s a pretty nice place, and she will be only 5 minutes from her sons’ houses and families. Also, Janell’s Aunt Patrice is going to be moving over here, too. So, it will be like one big family reunion for them all of the time. It will also make it a lot easier for us to visit everyone when we come back to the United States in the future.
Today, I had the opportunity to share with Sprit Life Tampa about the ministry in Mexico. Janell and Nathan stayed home because he had a rough night, but the time at the church went well. It is always good to be with people who are really praying for you and are interested in your ministry.
