Back in Texas


We are back in Texas! we got here about 8:00 pm which was a couple of hours late. Rocky's guitar got all banged up so we were at airport till 9:30. Glad that we are not flying AA out of country. Friday we slept in and had breakfast with Rocky's dad. We then went to Ector county Court house to get a copy of our Marriage lic. to send to secretary of state to have something done to it for our visa and took it to post office and expressed mailed it with prepaid return. we then treated ourselves to Taco Villa! Yummmm! Had supper with Rocky's Dad.

Today, Saturday we began working on packing for South America and then we went to Midland to look for me a rain suit but with no luck. We still might look at walmart in sports department. Went to Kohls and I found me a sweater to wear as a cover up. And guess where we had lunch. TACO VILLA! Yummmmmm! Washed a couple of loads of clothes at Papa's and Nan's. Nan and I went to Jenifer's baby shower and we got back about 4:30.

I think Rocky and I are going to have a cheese sandwich for supper. Church tomorrow and a nap. Rocky has a Dr. Appointment on Monday and we plan to drive to Haskell to see Rocky's mom on Tuesday and drive on in to Brownwood that afternoon.

Yep, Thats us.


Me and DC buddies descending into the metro system.



DC buddies and we are all going to Ecuador.




We left the farm at 8:00 am this morning and arrived in Dc at Union Station at 10:40. There was 8 loaded buses. Our group consisted of Rocky ,Dorothy, Audra, Corey, David( Indiana Jones). We road the metro to somewhere in DC to our target area to eat and share with folks. We got off Metro and walked alot! We eat some really delicious Mexican food. We walked some more. We then got on Metro and headed to see some sights. Dc is a pretty awesome city. Just not near enough time. Lots of landscape. Here is a few pictures.

This and That

I was looking over our schedule for the rest of FPO and we are drawing toward the end of our time here. Rocky and I have our exit interview today with our affinity leadership. We had to write a paper on how we plan to maintain our spiritual life. Because we have to be intentional. Psalm 119:11 I will hide your words in my heart that I might not sin against you.
We will be through for the day after our interview and we have a van reserved and we are going to town to apply for an international drivers Lic. and look at rain suits at sporting goods store. Zomora receives 22 FEET of rain a year so we thought we might use them every now and then.
Small group time. More later.

Thank you sweet lady!
