Thursday night we arrived back to Guatemala. We had such a good three weeks in the states. Thanks to everyone who made time in their schedule so that we could see you.
We are enjoying a slower Saturday morning, and taking care of some business so that we will be ready to receive a group of college students from Florida State tomorrow.

We're pansies when it comes to cold weather!
Yesterday we arrived to Missouri to spend a couple of days with good friends here. We've learned a lot being in another culture for 7 months - and yesterday we learned that we don't deal with cold weather very well any more.
At any rate, we're enjoying being with Kendall & Amy, and their cute kiddos.
We'll be back in Texas this coming Monday. For all of you in the Canyon area, we'll be at First Methodist Church in Canyon this Wednesday evening. We'll share our experiences of the past 7 months in the Searcher's classroom begining at 6:30. After that we are heading over to the Wesley Foundation to hang out for a bit.
Also, we're going to the Sunday (April 20) evening service at First Baptist Church in Canyon. We'll also stick around afterwards to hang out for a while that evening.

News from the lands much farther south..
We received an email tonight from Guatemala. Over the weekend theives stole their phone lines. 1500 users are out of phone lines, which also means internet.
We rely heavily on the internet for lots of communication, including telephone services that allow us to connect with friends & family in the states.
Of course, the cell phones are still in service, so they still have communication available.
They have been told that it will take 1 week to 3 months to replace the lines. Would you join in praying with us that those lines would be retuned in one week - and that the added stress of having to go off site to check email & such (something we all rely on) wouldn't be an issue that they have to deal with?
On another note - today we had a great time seeing some of Staci's extended family. What a joy it is to see and reconnect with family and friends.

The stars at night are big and bright ... deep in the heart of Texas!
This past Wednesday we flew into Amarillo, TX - we were met at the airport by Lee's dad. We left the airport and drove to one of our favorite mexican food restaurants - it was yummy.
We changed our original plans a bit and drove to Dallas on Thursday. Lee's Grandma Jean passed away Thursday afternoon. We stayed in Dallas for a couple of days to be with family and to celebrate Jean's life at her funeral.
Last night we drove to central Texas to spend a few days with Staci's parents.
We've enjoyed seeing friends and family, wide open spaces, driving 70 miles per hour, and even spent a little time fishing this evening after a Sunday afternoon nap.
We were thankful to get to spend a morning with Staci's parent's church and share with several people in their congregation our experiences from the past 7 months. This congregation has supported us faithfully, and we are thankful for them.
This week we're spending time in central Texas, as well as, an afternoon and evening in the Dallas area.
