.........and I love you too..................

Today has been a very busy day and I can't catch my breath! We had our Saturday morning breakfast of pancakes again and had about 18 people. I had a blackberry topping, yum! Vernon had to take Maria, Eileen and Janet to the bus station at 10:15 and the Steve D. family went along because they needed to do some shopping in Zone 1. Before they left Vernon ran Sharon, Jody, Jeana, Marcus, Isaac and Wendel to the park for children's Bible Club.They had 14 children show up today and usually have active games of soccer before the time ends.
The Bible Study group came home starving but I planned lunch  a bit late to accommodate Vernon and his group and when they didn't get back by 12:30, we ate any way. It was Mitskas on the menu. This is a glorified hot dog sandwich. Take a tortilla and spread it with guacamole, cabbage that has been stir fried with onion, tomato, oil and salt, and then topped with a hot dog. By the time we cleaned up lunch, Vernon's group came home and ate and then Vernon and I ran to the market to get produce and some of Lucinda's Queso fresco. Vernon loves to 'talk'with the vendors and we came home with watermelon, bananas, pina, lettuce, strawberries, ....  The phone rang just when we got home and here a fellow had been sitting at the airport since 12 pm!!! The flight status showed the plane delayed for 4 hours, so we didn't worry. Vernon went rocketing out of this place (did leave time for the black doors to open before he shot through)! They just got back and Vernon is giving Craig the tour of the mission. He is a possible v.s.er.  I have to go work on supper. It is youth tonight at 6:00pm so I can't be late with the meal. Last night was a beautiful night with a half moon shining, the kind of night that reminds a person of God and eternity.  I need such nights!
