You know you're in Texas when...

The waffles are in the shape of the state of Texas - no joke, they really are.

Anyway, Day One of our orientation was intense, but excellent. It has been especially nice to put faces with names, and meet other people preparing to serve in Guatemala.

They really crank the AC here, which we expected, since it stays in the 90s well into the night. In fact, when we landed at 10:30 last night it was 92 degrees. Someone told me it would be a dry heat - they were wrong. It is really humid.

Prayer Requests - We are rethinking some of our strategy, pray that we would really listen to what God wants us to do...not necessarily people. (No big changes, mostly minor.)
Ken has to work tonight, while Joy is at the pool, pray that he will stay awake and be alert tomorrow as well.
We are so thankful for our family taking the girls. It has been so much easier. There is a family here with their two little ones and they can't both be in the meetings at the same time. We have found it a blessing to listen and then compare our thoughts after each session. Praise God that he has blessed us with loving family for our girls - even Snickers!

Dad also says hi. Mom is getting ready to go out for breakfast.

I am up waiting for my grandkids to arrive.

Expect another great day with them.

Also praying for you as you continue to narrow down what God has in store for you.

Love you all

Dad
