Passport arrives in the Nick of time

We had our bags all packed and in the car. FEDEX delivered Glenn's renewed passport at 9:35am, and we left immediately for DFW. We made the 11:15am flight to Miami, with connection on into Managua, Nicaragua.

Ellen met us at the airport and drove us directly to the Parker's house. We'll be staying with the Parkers while we visit CAM missionaries here. The Parkers work with Awana here in Nicaragua and have really gotten the ministry off the ground. As we talked last night, we realized that we had very simular backgrounds and knew many of the same people. Linda attended BMA camp in Ringgold, La for many years. She attended Southeastern Bible College, so we started out throwing some names around. Since Bill and Linda lived in Honduras before coming to Nicaragua, they knew soem CAM missionaries too, like Harold and Carol Krause, the Livingstons and other (these folks I knew when I was on PMT) back in 1977. They attended language school with Paul Johnson, Rod Fry, Yinglings and others from CAMex field. So, it was good to see the connection.

Linda told me that while they were in Language school, they she ran into Sharon Woychuck, whose father started BMA. Sharon and her husband are in Spain and she thinks with TEAM. Small world, big family connection. Linda even knows Bruce Kneige (who is a missionary in Bolivia).

Today, we visited Ellen at school. We're in the computer lab while she has one more class. Then later tonight we'll be having dinner with the Reids. I'll try to write more.
