Top Ten Things to Remember when Going on the Mission Field:
10. Always, always, always shake your towel out before applying to your naked body (sing with me: La Cucaracha!)
9. You know that feeling like something is crawling on you? Well, it probably is.
8. You can never bring too much peanut butter
7. Go ahead and give your fridge a big kiss and tell it how much you appreciate it.
6. Do the same to your water faucet that gives you clean, cold or hot water with the
flick of your wrist.
5. In case you didn’t know, you can eat a cactus (and it’s not so bad)
4. “Clean” has many different levels (Barb, no amount of Purel could touch this)
3. If the lady in the store grabs your baby without asking, make sure she gives him back.
2. You don’t have the choice whether or not to pray and kick out the devil. He
thinks he owns things that you know are not his.
1. When the Lord says He will open a door, He means it. Lots and LOTS of doors.
We have moved to a new house for the next week or so. The house belongs to The Way of The Cross Ministry (if you Google Aldama, Mexico, you’ll pics). The director of that ministry is a friend of Don Smith’s. We got to stay there with one phone call. Grandpa Jim and Grandma Carol Nowlin are here in town and it’s the best to get to have them around to talk to or translate or buy us tamales or hold babies or spoil our kids with candies and cookies. We’re enjoying every minute of it! Thanks for having groovy parents, Jim.
Easters was great! We did have deviled eggs, Dave. Grandma Carol colored them pink and green and blue. It was neat to get the chance for the kids to understand more what Easter is really about.
We love everyone and can’t wait connect with you! Love y’all!!!
