Things of the Day

The day is starting to wind down..It is 6:30pm..Supper is ready and we shall see if Sandra likes some REAL southern cooking tonight..It is very hard to find fresh GOOD veggies here..Normally just broccoli,carrots,some cauliflower,I think those are green beans,..of course plenty of tomatos, iceburg lettuce,avocados,any kind of pepper, wilted celery,garlic,cilantro,leeks,many fruits,,especially melons..anyway..I found cabbage and got a head and I havent seen regular american ham so I got spam and carrots and cooked it all together...It taste GREAT to me..I am just pretending that the spam is HAM...She came down earlier and her nose was looking funny as if to smell something she wasnt sure about..I will wait to post this till right before bed so I can tell you how she did..I do have a back up for her..CHICKEN and potatoes that are leftovers...anyway..I got up at 5am and headed over to get Carlos..My heart aches for him..He is trying hard to keep going..We made it to where he is doing his internship at a nursing home..He said that it is so hard to go there because the people who run it are actually mean to the people and they do not like them being nice to them..Carlos couldnt be mean or unkind to anyone there..But it is his last day there..I am sure when they werent looking he showed the love of GOD to them..Thats our Carlos..Even sick.I was unable to speak directly with anyone in Denver today but I have left messages about seeing if one of the doctors and the hospital that did the surgery before could write letters to immmigration here to try and help Carlos get the medical visa..Praying that we hear something soon..and I am sending out emails to his contacts from the years he was a missionary here to see if anything else surfaces...Sandra and I went to, so hard for me to call it church, anyway,,just another good day for me to be reminded of just what JESUS did for us all..afterwards we headed back to the house..She has a friend who has been coming over on Sunday afternoons for a few weeks now but we recieved a call that the family of this friend had a threat given to their family this past week and the Dad did not want them to come away from the family alone to get here...I havent been able to get details yet but until I understand it more she will not be around them either..Not sure what happened last night but on our way home there was a road block a couple of miles from the house in an area that has never had one in my time here..They just stopped each car and looked in with flashlights and then this morning when Faith headed out to cross the border the next little colonia from ours was full of military and policia and yellow crime tape..I need to check to see what is going on..It is unusual for it to be this close..Better to be informed so we know what to look for..But we have excellent protection..The best of all...GOD..then the military comes through on a regular bases..I still feel safe..
Well she liked supper...She is a good eater..I am thankful..My mom was doing good today..Hap sounded great and our son and his family came through for a visit this afternoon..Tyler man can write his name now..I look forward to see him..I will probably just squeeze him to death..NOT REALLY but I sure do want to hug him really bad..I have been told that he asks about me..I had thoughts of him not remembering me but was told that he just asked about me last week..That was sure good for my heart..I am doing to close..I need to get to bed early tonight..Blessings to all and 2 days till THE CALL...
May the GOD of our hope fill us with all joy and peace as we wait and pray for the good things to come...
