We're back!

Whew! We are finally back home for a bit and I have pretty much unpacked everything - just one more box to go. Our time in the USA was filled with so many blessings and we met some really neat people. I am posting some photos of our time in New Mexico, Arizona (even though we only spent a couple of hours there), Oklahoma, Arkansas, and Texas. The last photo shows Jaynie & I with our "locks of love" braids.

I tried to update my blog on Monday; however, the internet at our base has been very slow this week and I have not been able to do much. It is good to be home, but it does take some time to return to living in another country (I don't know if it would be considered third world or second world?).

How great it is to know that Sunday is on the way! Today, Saturday between Good Friday and Easter Sunday, always makes me realize how special Christ's sacrifice and resurrection is - because if the story stopped on Saturday, there would be no hope, no eternal life, no purpose for living, nothing. The good news is that Jesus Christ conquered death and the grave and rose again to a victorious life forever!

This first picture is of Jose Luis at his first attempt at target practice. Our friends in Cloudcroft took him out for a very interesting afternoon of guns, guns, and more guns (all of them legal). Jaynie even tried her hand at shooting and did pretty good for a 9-year-old girl. Thanks to Scott, Lynn, and everyone!
