Ag report

Down Gregory a block west and down that street about four houses, they have an avocado tree in the front yard. We knew the former owners and they gave them to us from time to time, very nice Haas. Well, the new owners sweep them into the street. Like autmn leaves, they are. We have about 15 of them right now, so we have avocado at any or no provocation. At the same time the guavas are also falling, and so good. Plus the tangerines are getting ripe, you have to look for an orangish tinge, They are really good. Gmother says the persimmons are about ready plus we are still picking luscious tomatoes. Good thing we never have to go to the grocery store!!

Gmother got the disk of her teaching Galatians 2 this AM so we can now listen to her in her finest moments.

Home from Mexico

What a fun trip! Before we left we asked the Lord to show us who was ready to talk, and boy! Were we ever covered up with people. We got home today (Saturday) at 10 and one thing mom and I are going to do is make a list of the people we had conversations with. Just amazing. We met several really eager Christian couples, that was special. Gave one (well I gave it to two) copy of TGT to a couple from Arizona. Don't actually know their names, but the lady came up to us a couple days after that and said that all her life she had had a bad attitude about the way people witness and TGT fits exactly the way she thought it ought to be, though she had never articulated it. She said she would be Emailing me.


So many lovely Filipino guys and gals, even met a fellow from Transyvania but I mentioned him. Language like Italian. Food. You simply cannot believe the exquisite food they dish out. I got a lot of conversations in Spanish, that was a big joy to see if i could do it well. We were on a tour bus in Puerto Vallarta that was hit by a dump truck, so there was action of several sorts. But get this one! Met a couple who said that was Ship Cruise #60!! Can't imagine wasting time and life that way. Glad to be back and David Shack just arrived to spend three days doing his work from our place. Wonderful.
