Today was Janell’s birthday. It was also the first day we left Nathan with babysitters. Our friends the Waechters watched him this afternoon so we could go to the movies. So we went down to Mundo E mall to watch Elizabethtown. We weren’t real thrilled with the movie. It was long and not very good. Later, we left Nathan with the Torberts so we could go to the other mall and eat at Macaroni Grill. It was good.

Janell is sick. This isn’t good.
Janell is sick today. It’s not good. She can’t take care of Nathan. It is the last day of the quarter at the seminary, so I am giving two exams today. I had to take them up there and leave them in the library so the students could take them. I have to take care of Nathan, which is a huge job. This is when it would be nice to live closer to family. I’m sure we’ll make it through.
Studying with Nathan
This morning I am preaching at our church (and maybe leading communion). I will be preaching a sermon on the attitudes towards David in 1 Samuel 17. It is a sermon about how people treat young people. I hope that it stirs our church to more support for the youth ministry. I need to begin equipping a team of volunteers for the youth ministry. I don’t have enough time to do the entire ministry myself.
Busy Day today
Today was a busy day. I spoke at MCCA chapel. I went out to breakfast with Janell and Nathan. We went to Home Depot to buy a weed wacker (lawn mower here). I went downtown in public transportation with my friend Steve. We went to the post office (watch video). We visited 2 bookstores. We went through Mexican Chinatown. We bought a part for a grill. I mowed (weedwacked) the lawn. I watched a movie with Janell. Now…I’m exhausted. But it was fun.
Arrived Safely in Mexico
After a long day yesterday, we arrived safely in Mexico. Nathan did really well on the plane, even though we were stuck for 4 and a half hours on the plane from Houston to Mexico City. We were in the plane on the runway in Houston for a long time, and as we began taxiing, we were notified that we would be at least 8th in line just to get to the runway. We then waited and waited. The pilot then took a turn back towards the gate because we had wasted so much fuel that we needed to refuel before we could take off. Then we had to wait for the fuel truck. The whole time there was no air conditioning on the plane. So, we were a group of sweaty, hot, upset passengers, all trying to get along because we were stuck on the plane for at least another 2 hours. Finally, we got fuel and took off. We landed in Mexico City 4 hours and 30 minutes after we boarded the plane. It also turned out that Continental broke some things on our stroller/carseat. Oh the joys of travelling! We are happy to be back in Mexico and off the airplane.
Baby Dedication
Yesterday was the big day. Nathan was all dressed up for his dedication at New Hope. We had a great time at church, saying goodbye to our friends there as we prepare to move back to Mexico on Wednesday. There was a party after the church service at Janell’s dad’s house, and Nathan got to hang out with a lot of family, including his great grandma Comiskey. It was a great time.
