Still Here

Today I took Ali out sailing into the deep blue and ....................there was no wind so we ended up anchoring and swimming in warm blue water. After out no wind sail we neaded back and started getting Ali ready for busing back to the states. At the same time our suburban is having issues.....huge gas lead that was pouring out onto the distributor and hot exhaust....could have burned up the truck.....caught it tough and now it is in a hole in the wall shop. Ali did get on the bus at 5 pm and she is now crossing the border by now. She will be in Medford tomorrow
Me? I will be getting things ready to meet my brother here so we can go out in the big blue to catch some big fishies. Got the boat in the water yesterday and she is looking good.

Talked to 2 electricains today about doing some work on the house here....imagine trying to explain that the voltage in low at the house and we need the city to install bigger wire at the junctions box at the street in spanish............pretty fun
Two guys stopped Ali and me and asked if we were movie stars.......of course I said ......no .....I said so we are just regulare people and we had a fun time talking to some fishermen.
Everywhere I go I have opportunity to love people and share the love of Christ with someone.....it is like everyone is hungry to hear it here....not the Americans but the Mexicans

More tomorrow

Worked at getting things done around the house for Debra today. Fixed a toilet, met with electricians, worked with a gardener and fixed an air conditioner and much more. The Lord keeps confirming each step we take and things are going well.
Ali and I are doing well and miss our kids and family but are having a great time helping Debra and Storie with all kinds of issues.

Alison leaves Friday night to catch a flight on Sat morning
Tomorrow we hope to put the sailboat in and see our missionary friends.
