When I looked up after a hectic three or four days, I realized I have missed some entries. Cheryl and I were in a race to try to get everything done before we left Tulsa; I'm not sure if we succeeded but we left the house in Broken Arrow at 4:30 yesterday morning. As many of you know, someone purchased tickets for us on Continental Airlines and we arrived here in San Pedro before noon. The trip is never easy, but it was much easier this time having regular tickets. Since we both are still in recovery mode I wasn't sure that we could make a quick trip standby.As usual, things were in good order when we arrived but still much to be done. The Ford van and pickup are drivable, but still not in good shape. This afternoon Nicholas has gone back to town to deliver the van for a brake job. Helen Ruth Snipes arrived about noon today and seems to be very excited about getting started here at the mission center teaching and preparing the medical clinic for the next team. Incidentally, that next team will likely be Dr. Green and his group toward the end of October. Josh Fellman will arrive on Sunday to install the satellite so we are in the process of getting the mounting ready for that.As many of you know, we received money before we left to break ground for the dormitories. We have a long way to go, but at least it's a start. We now have to decide whether or not to call Marlon back to engineer the project. Since we didn't have work for him he has gone to work in a factory and of course is a little uneasy about leaving that job to come back here where things are always less than certain. Please pray for us and for him that we all make the right decision.
