The Heat Is On

We arrived in Texas yesterday at our mission house to find the a/c barely working. It was already in the 90's, so it was really hot inside. After eating dinner out, we got it to work somewhat enough to stay the night. Today, we had two services to attend and the pastor already had a hotel for us. =) We are grateful! Pray they will find out what is wrong and that it does not cost too much to fix.

All in all we had a pretty profitable day with our meetings. We have also found a new love in Texas... The Golden Chick- fried chicken and okra. Hope that you all had a great Lord's Day.

You DID NOT SAY OKRA did you!?

I MMMMIIISSSSS Okra!

We tried to grow it...but it does NOT like Portugal's climate!

We once stayed at a guest house at a church in the middle of August. In Mississippi. Temps were over 100 an dthe air did work a little...only at night...forget during the day. So we still call that time "hot time" when we reminise about deputation! We'd go to the little dinky mall in town just to sit in the AC!! We'd not ever buy anything, just sit and walk...with 5 kids...We stayed there 2 weeks! We didn't have the heart to tell the pastor the problems we were having. They were so sweet to buy us groceries and everything...we couldn't leave!!

Those were tough days....Man I'm glad deputation is OVER!!

Thank You Lord!!
