SWEET HOME CHICAGO

Well yesterday, we took a little detour through eastern Iowa and stopped at a friends house in Oakville Iowa. Bob and Mary Brown and thier daughter Linda come every year with the Carpenters Crew from LaHarpe Il. Bob had called and needed some of our brochures about the ministry in Mexico. His church has expressed an interest in supporting us , so we figured instead of mailing stuff, we'de deliver it in person. After a quick visit with Bob, we called our partners in LaHarpe and before long, we were sitting at a table filled with spectacular spare ribs at Rick and Diane Balmers house. It was suprise visit and it was good to see some of the Crew. Dinner at Rick and Dianes followed by dessert at Roy and Carlas, we left with our stomaches aching at 11 at night. I could only drive for about two hours before needing some sleep. So were here, in Alan and Lynneas driveway for the third year in a row, and it's good to be here.
