It felt like going home a couple of weeks ago when I went to Minneapolis to go before the Directorate at the World Mission Prayer League home office. It was cold when I arrived at midnight, minus four. The next day I had to retire my Arizona jacket and hit the nearest thrift store to find another one.

During my few days I had the opportunity to visit with several close friends and fellow workers including Del Palmer, missions director with the AFLC and Pastor Roland Wells of St. Paul's Lutheran Church.

I sort of feared having to go over all the sordid details of a very sad couple of years that lead to my divorce. But they were pretty much all up to date about it so I didn't have to. When Peter said, "love covers a multitude of sins," it sure feels good to experience it personally. I was asked if I'd be able to move to the interior of Mexico again. But I couldn't have that be an option yet. At least until Gracie and Cesar move off to Bible school or college (possibly by the next term). Everyone was agreed that my kids are a big part of my mission. Also there was discussion about what would happen if/when Alma and I are married. The normal procedure is to resign and reapply as a married couple. But as of yet we don't have any plans to set a date for marriage. We will wait on the Lord for that.
