Wednesday we met with a pastor at the church we attended while we lived in Lubbock. It was great to hear how the Lord has blessed it over the years and hear their plans for expansion.
For lunch we met up with Dr Mark Hall. Dr Mark was a part of the Guatemala medical mission trip where Jeff and I met. He had come down to see patients and teach us. When we moved to Lubbock (3 years later), he was preparing to move to Uganda to do mission work, so we rented his house. He is a neat guy and now spends ½ of his time working as a physician, ¼ of his time in Uganda and another fourth preaching.
Mid-afternoon we arrived at the Walkups house. Bob was in medical school with Jeff and we went to the same church. Bob and Debbie are just a treasure trove of encouragement and fun experience. They have 7 children (just one at home now) and have homeschooled 30 years. At mid-night we (with Debbie and her three daughters who were home for the summer) lied under the stars and watched a meteor shower.
