This week I slept in my own bed after a couple of months of being on furlough. What a glorious feeling to crawl under your own sheets and cuddle up with your own pillow! It has been great! Of course, shortly after climbing into bed, the roosters started their nightly crowing routine, the neighbor decided to do some midnight car repairs, and the rains drenched our stairwell. It's good to be home...
We pulled into Morelia around 5:00 pm on Tuesday afternoon after a two day road trip from South Texas. All in all, it was an uneventful trip. Since we have a new vehicle, both Sam and I had to drive. Sam's mom came with and was a great help with the girls. Most notably, as we approached Queretaro, there seemed to some trouble up ahead since traffic was at a standstill. Like fine Mexicans, we put our cars in reverse on the main highway to catch the exit we had just passed and head on a ways towards Mexico City. If it's any comfort to those of you gasping, we weren't the only ones with that great idea!
We are slowly getting unpacked and reacquainted with our home. The girls are ready for school on Monday, and we are looking forward to worshiping together with our brothers and sisters in Christ here.
Thank you to each of you that made our time in the States so special! Victoria is convinced she would rather be in Texas to go to school, because she could ride a yellow school bus, and you get lunch at school that you don't have to pay for (don't know where that idea came from) and it includes chocolate milk!
Have a blessed Lord's day!

you sound so happy to be home! What a great feeling. I am so glad that you guys had a great time away and are ready to plunge back into your life. Tell Victoria that the school lunches, which are not free, are not very good. Soren makes me pack her lunch every day.
Love you guys

Well, the lunches are perhaps a once a week treat for Samuel so he gets to pick the one he wants.
Glad you're back in your own bed! That is special for sure. Hey, we got your cell phone and thanks for the sweet card, also. It was an honor to be with y'all. We love you all very, very much!!
