As I watch the gecko scale the wall of this quaint bedroom, and I feel the sweat from the humidity drip down my body, I realize, "We're not in Kansas anymore Toto!" Or Colorado to be more precise.
We had a wonderful morning in San Antonio. We met Rachel's brother Matt at the Alamo and then had lunch next to the river-walk. It's so weird to see people in shorts and tank-tops here when there is a blizzard in Colorado!
For the next five hours, I held tightly to the steering wheel of our van as I navigated it through gusts of wind that were fierce enough to test the strongest resolve. We made it safely to Harlingen, TX where we met up with Grandpa Jim and had the pleasure of going to a pot-luck at his church. Good times were had by all.
Tomorrow morning we will wake up early and head across the border. We're really praying and hoping we won't have to unpack the whole van as we go across. That would be a huge pain.
We got some great pics today but the wi-fi signal I'm on is too weak to upload them. I will do it ASAP. Hopefully, I'll find an internet source somewhere nearby in Mexico and we'll be in touch soon. Hasta La Vista Baby!
Monday is the big day!

Ahh, the humidity. It should bring back memories of India for you... I remember finding frogs hiding in the walls when we went to paint. they were just trying to stay cool like we were.
Ahh, those were the days.
My heart is in my throat and my eyes are full of water, yet I'm happy for your mission as you follow our Lord. Because of Him we know we're part of a much bigger picture than we usually realize. At this special time of year when we remember His sacrifice for us, it makes it a little easier to give you up to His safe keeping. Love you forever. Keep us posted. Mom
