Visit with Ellen at NCA

On Thursday, we were able to visit Ellen at her school. We arrived there just in time to eat lunch with her and some fellow teachers. I enjoyed meeting each teacher and hearing about their back ground and how they learned about NCA. Ellen had to teach one class in the afternoon, so Glenn and I got to the computer lab to check email and stuff like that.

Later in the afternoon, we drove 1/2 km up to Ellen's apartment that she shares with 2 other teachers. The electricity was not working, so it was quite HOT. We did try to rest in and amongst all the times we were talking and checking up on stuff with Ellen.

Thursday night, we had dinner with Paul and Lucia Reid. They're CAM missionaries here. It was fun to hear their journey. Paul graduated from PBU, and then DTS. He knows some mutual friends like the Bakers, Pauls, Royer and others. He also attended Spanish Reinhardt back in the 80's. They had invited some froms (Steve and L.) to have dinner with us also. Steve married a gal from Santa Cruz. So, it was fun to recount some old places, food, and friends there. L. made sopa de mani (Peanut soup) DELICIOUS. And then Lucia made typical Nicaraguan food. I especially loved sitting on the front porch in their rocking chair and chatting.

The Reids have 3 beautiful girls (2 in HS and 1 in Elementary). They plan on furlough this upcoming summer. We talked about Paul's health and how sometimes he has good days and sometimes he is just worn out. Back in November, Glenn drove down to Houston to help Paul with some medical doctors concerning his parkinson's disease.
