The electricity has been interrupted for a few hours now and our generator is banging away as I speak, noisy little guy. It is good white noise though to get a blog out. It has just been too much partying with Jim and Gloria to concentrate on the posts lately. But here I am trying to remain faithful to the mission.

Jim helped me out this AM to teach my bible class since it was my turn and he was willing to do that. It went well. One thing noticeable about this endeavor is that it seems no matter how many times you cover a certain chapter you always come away with something new and different. It’s really uncanny. We did Matthew chapter 16 which I have done maybe three or four times now but there is something new each time.

Yesterday Jim, Gloria and myself walked down Shinglemill Creek Canyon here on Vashon. The pix are about that. The weather was overcast but the canyon was beautiful all the way down descending three hundred some feet in elevation from the top of the island down to saltwater. It is so picturesque and wild in there for being just a few minutes from the pavement. If you bring your hiking shoes we could get down in there.

So in a few moments we will be off to Seattle and a hotel near SEATAC airport to drop these guys off. And I think that we are being treated to dinner along the way, yum. Yea, I have to get back to reality and work after these guys leave. But you know, it has been a good time and memorable.

Have to go peek and see if the neighbors have their lights on and see if I can turn off this generator, had enough white noise. Nope, still off, more noise to go.

Well, anyway, there was some discussion about fate this morning at our class. About the idea that we all have some sort of fate that is good to fulfill. It completes a certain life drama or lesson for our selves and others. Sometimes though fate seems to be able to be bypassed and the result is a lukewarm warm for everyone. Something to think about for today.

Just wanting you to know that it seems that fate has thrown us together and what could be better really. We are learning and having fun getting the job done. Yup, crazy about you, Felipe.
