Santi's first meal(rice cereal) and second time with Dadady. mmmmmm!

We are really enjoying being in the states. Beto has done a ton of work in the garage cleaning it up and making it his "man cave". And has done a lot of work outside pruning trees, flowers and making his vegetable garden. Thanks mom for all your contributions to make it all possible! We have been cleaning house and garage but things are starting to wind down a little bit now.

Please pray for Santi as he has a virus with a sore throat. Also pray for us as we have lots of "business" to take care of. We have to go to Soc. Sec. to get my name changed, to the DMV for my license renewal, and to immigration to get Beto and Santi's extension and Santi's US Passport.

we hope to be here a year and travel to speak in different churches to raise support so we can go back to Honduras as full time missionaries. If you could help us with a speaking engagement at your church, please let us know. we will go to any state!

Pics from the fair and Father's Day bbq

At the fair there was also a pink gingerbread house that sold hot chocolate. That was probably my favorite part of the whole day!
Today we had the Heida's and the Power's over for Father's Day. It was a lot of fun and of course, everyone only wanted to be with Santiago. I feel like such a third wheel with him around!
This morning before church Beto and I and Santiago had the priveledge of having breakfast with my good friends John and Linda Price who were missionaries with me in Watts. Thanks guys! We love you!

The Day at the Fair

well i've decided that if you have nothing to say in a blog, go to the fair!
wow, i have almost toomuch material.
now i'm pretty tired but some of the highlights actually started at the restaurant where we had breakfast on the way down to San Diego.
My nephew Marcus was invited to be a backup dancer for his friends cousin so we mainly went to see him, but after his performance we stayed so the adolescentes could go on th rides and the adults could test their patience and wear down their feet walking around looking at the seeminly hundreds of booths filled with a bunch of stuff people really don't need but think they want.

We saw for the first time chocolate covered bacon and my sister Glenda and Beto actually tried it, and didn't LIKE IT!

They also sold chicken sandwiches with Krisy Kreme donuts instead of buns. We didn't try those.

That's all I can remember for now. I need to go to bed.
