Odessa - Carlsbad
31 Mei, Amerika Syarikat ⋅ ☀️ 79 °F
We got a good night sleep at Comfort Inn.

We found 2 letterboxes on our way to Carlsbad. One in the back parking lot of a gas station and the other in a cemetery. Fun. We had a picnic for lunch. Watched Mike Burnidge memorial service as we ate. Gained an hour.

Walked a mile thru the Living Desert. Beautiful! Yes, we’re getting hot. Reach 95 degrees

Camping at KOA. Nice place. We ate turkey and patty melt for dinner. Chilled out the rest of the evening.

Watched the sunset.

Carlsbad Caverns
1 Jun, Amerika Syarikat ⋅ ☁️ 86 °F
Speechless! Carlsbad Caverns. We had an excursion

All I could think of was the words to a praise song; MAJESTY

Majesty
Worship His majesty

Majesty, worship His Majesty:
Unto Jesus be all glory, honor, and praise.

Majesty, kingdom authority,
Flow from His throne unto His own, His anthems raise.

So exalt, lift up on high the name of Jesus.
Magnify, come glorify Christ Jesus, the King.

Majesty, worship HIs Majesty, Jesus who died, now glorified,
King of all Kings.

The tour was 2 hours long. We explored the Kings palace and queens quarters. Then the darkness. Total darkness.

We had a picnic for lunch inside the van. It reached over 100 today. Walmart to fill up with gasoline. And sandwiches for supper.

Guadeloupe National Park
2 Jun, Amerika Syarikat ⋅ ⛅ 75 °F
Guadalupe National Park is so under-rated. I was completely overwhelmed by the beauty. Also It’s the tallest peak in Texas.

Earlier in the morning, we had our monthly zoom call with the Avant retirees.

We also drove across a salt flat. Who knew that Texas had a salt flat?

El Paso - Sahuarita, Arizona
3 Jun, Amerika Syarikat ⋅ ☀️ 79 °F
We took Rose P out to lunch at Julio’s. What a precious lady. She and her late husband served in Chile and Argentina then in Juarez, Mexico for many years. Now lives in assisted living in El Paso and still has a burden for the loss. She’ll be 91 this summer.

We talked about her family, her health, her struggles and victories. She even showed us the prayer card of Phil, president of Avant, that was taped to the walk.

As we left her apartment, Glenn mentioned that the left back tire was low. Discount Tires to the rescue! 45 minutes later, we were on our way to Arizona. A screw was the problem.

We arrived at Janet and Dicks, just after 7pm. We stayed up talking about Moody days. Fun

St Anthony monastery
4 Jun, Amerika Syarikat ⋅ ☀️ 88 °F
We had a lively visit with Janet over breakfast. I then took her for a ride in the RV.

We left soon afterwards towards St Anthony’s monastery in Florence, AZ. Karen suggested we go there and even said she would give me $100.00. That’s a no brainer.

The grounds were very peaceful, colorful, tranquil, relaxing and meditative.

We had dinner with Sheri and Alan Finlayson. I served on the Moody Alumni board with Sheri. We laughed and had a great time.

I concluded with 4 topics 1) Casa de Mundo 2) Phil O’Day 3)100.00 from Karen 4) Greek Orthodox raffle ticket

It was a perfect night to share the meal with the Finlaysons.

Lunch with DeSmets & Sparks
5 Jun, Amerika Syarikat ⋅ ☀️ 97 °F
I was on a zoom call at 6am and then did some more computer work.

Before picking up Karen and Wally, we stopped and vacuumed the Rv. We drove to DeSmets then to the Starks retirement center for lunch. Their son Rick joined the us. We had some lovely conversations about Bolivia (Karen lived there) and of course Guatemala.

Afterwards we visited with Rick and his wife. She lived in Tambo back in elementary years. She had precious memories of her days as an mk with New Tribes.

We then drove to Tempe to meet the family were staying with, Scott and Denise. We have so many mutual friends.

What an enjoyable day listening to story after story of these retirees adventures

Azmera Summit
8 Jun, Amerika Syarikat ⋅ ☀️ 81 °F
For the past 2 nights, I’ve been at an Azmera Summit held for global workers, senders, adult missionary kids, church workers and ladies interested in missions. There were about 75 ladies and about 45 volunteers. We had excellent teaching by Peg Forrest (whom I’ve had at several other conferences) along with joyful singing and worship.

On Saturday afternoon, there were workshops on member care, lament, TKC (3rd culture kid) and several others. Excellent workshops that were inspiring and helpful.

The high in Phoenix was 108 degrees on Saturday. Just really took everything out of me. Hot H.O.T. HOoooottttt!!!

In the meantime, the plan for Glenn was to fly from Phoenix nonstop to Wichita Kansas on Friday night. Spend the night with the Nash’s, attend Virginia Swartzendruber’s 80th birthday party and fly back on Saturday. That all changed when his Friday evening flight was cancelled completely. Instead Glenn stayed here in Phoenix and made another visit to the retiree couple, Bill and Laveta Sparks. Bill is on the last stages of Parkinson’s.Baca lagi

San Diego Zoo Safari
9 Jun, Amerika Syarikat ⋅ ☀️ 90 °F
We had an enjoyable time with Karin Schmidt Knutson in her home. She prepared a special dinner followed by about 1 hour in the jacuzzi and swimming in their pool. Great conversation too!

We drove towards San Diego to connect up with David Osborn. We had purchased sandwich supplies at the Walmart before arriving in his office parking lot. Picnic in the RV.

Then we spent several hours at the safari park. David was able to get us in at a reduced price. Go David.

We had supper at their home they just moved into. Beautiful home in the mountains surrounded by all these boulders.

Then we drive south to El Cajon to stay with A candle in the window people. Full day.Baca lagi

Raymond and Rene
10 Jun, Amerika Syarikat ⋅ ⛅ 72 °F
We had a leisurely morning and met up with Rene and Raymond in the next town, La Mesa, California.

We met The Ruiz several years ago while sailing on the Mediterranean cruise and have kept in touch ever since. Their son Carlos joined us for us to stay for breakfast.

Then we had the 2 hour drive north to where Mark and Susan live in Diamond Bar. We survived the San Diego to Los Angeles freeway traffic!

Change of plans: because Mark was test positive for Covid, he arranged for us to stay 5 miles away in a furnished condo.

Nice location. We needed to empty out the RV since there is a condominium code against the RV to park on the street.

We unpacked. I made us a lunch and we settled in. Glenn drove over to the hoppers neighborhood and parked the Rv and exchanged it for a loaner vehicle that we will use for the next few days in LA

So far we have driven 2,108 milesBaca lagi
