CAN YOU SPELL ROAD TRIP?

     Many many years ago the Morris family from Lockport, IL would join us and many others on missions trips with Strategic Alliance to build houses in Mexico. Well Jimmy Jr who was 12 or 13 at the time along with his brother Dan, who was 5 at the time, bought this bus for a Pastor/ Missionary in Belize. They drove it to our house to leave it here until they return in a month or so to make the long trip to Belize. I will get the paper work done before they return to make the hassle at the border in Mx less, we hope! Any how, I'm kinda planning on joining them on the journey and I have asked Carmelo if he would like to go. I'm thinking of towing our car behind the bus or just driving along with them. Phil and Marianne are making the trip to Chiapas about the same time, so we will have a four vehicle convoy, which would be best for traveling so far. Pray for wisdom as we decide what to do.
    Last Saturday, the Power Team paid a visit to us in search of projects for their teams next year. We don't have anything pressing but we had few building needs. We enjoy their company, but they are always against the time bandit and can never stay very long because they have many other ministries to visit while on their scout out trip. So we had lunch and they were heading on to another ministry visit.
    The biggest news of the week was Jonah asking Emily to marry him while over in the colonia. They are from Alabama and met while here on a missions trip a few years ago with Roy and Rebeccas Ministry. We returned to our house for a little bit and by the time we returned to Roys,  Jonah already popped the question, So Congrats to them and that makes four weddings that we know of that have been birthed by two people meeting and falling in love on a missions trip to Mexico. So if you want to find a mate..... You know what to do! When you get involved with what God is doing, He will get involved with what your doing and give you the desires of your heart.
 We spent all day Tuesday , Tuesday night and yesterday in Mexico. I was sick and after we took the kids to school,  I went to a doctor in mexico, and she gave me a couple prescriptions. While at the doctors,it started  raining so hard the streets were flooded in no time. It was pretty nasty and I didn't think the van would make of out the colonia,so we spent the night.
