Getting to the Blog

You may have noticed that my blog posts have come to a screeching halt over the last several months. For this I apologize and will attempt to do better. It's not that I have nothing to write about, although our lives are not as exciting as they were in Guyana where "journal material" events occur every day! Mostly it's that I spend 10 hours a day at the mission office working on the computer and by the night we finally get home at night, I don't even want to look at a computer, even for personal things.

But one day our mission will be over and I'll wish I had written more, so I'm going to try to do better for the last six months of our mission. Speaking of finishing our mission, we've decided

that if we stay in the office through the end of the year, we'll just stay and go home in March (our 18-month finishing date). If we get to go someplace else and get back to teaching the gospel, we'll consider extending to 23 months which would get us home in August.

We leased our house in Grapevine until August on the assumption we'd be in the WIM for 23 months. But we didn't expect to be in the office for so long. Next month it will be a full year that we've run the mission office, and although it's an essential role, it's not what we had in mind for our mission. There was mention a week ago about the possibility of us going to an island but nothing further has been mentioned about it. It all depends on finding replacements who can both use the computer software required - and that's no easy feat - so we'll keep you posted about our comings and goings.

One note: If we go home in March, we'll be homeless. Anybody got a spare bed? If not, how

about saving a couple of big boxes and we'll sleep under an overpass. ;-)

Maybe it won't be so crowded under 360 and 121!
