Getting Settled

We have been in Guadalajara for about 10 days now and although there is so much to take in, I think we are adjusting well. It has been difficult not having a car and either walking or taking taxis anywhere we need to go. I can already see that this will be an easy city to live in. The people are friendly, the weather is the best in the World, and the danger threat that you hear about in Mexico seems to be mainly in other parts of the country.

The most challenging thing about being here is not speaking Spanish. Sure, I had 11 weeks of Spanish class and know a little more than a baby on his first day of life, but not too much more. R, on the other hand, is doing much better communicating as she had 6 months of class. Last night, I went to WalMart and ordered Dish Mexico TV for our house. This was a challenge with my "Que Hora Es?" Spanish. See this youtube video for a laugh or two. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WckCw_-7e3M

He Said--A day at Skyland Bible Conference.

This week, our family is on vacation at the Skyland Bible Conference in Dayton, TN. This conference holds a special place in our hearts because it is where my wife and I met 19 years ago!
Today, after hearing a great speaker in the morning, we spent the afternoon at Pocket Wilderness where we hiked and swam in the cold water of the mountain stream.

What a wonderful day it has been; hearing the Word of God, enjoying the beauty of his creation, and spending time with family and friends!
