Hi

We are finally at A.L.E.R.T. in Big Sandy, Texas after 3 days "on the road". Our cell phone reception is very poor and we only get 3 tv stations and it is very slow to get our email and blogs... so not sure how much we will be able to write for a while... A very nice campus and they train young men to rescue and respond to emergencies.. they just got back from helping in the areas around Arkansas and Tennessee that had those tornados. They feed us 2 meals/ day . Will probably go to " Cowboy Church " this Sunday. Carole

Today we went to the town of DONNA. I thought that my sister Donna might enjoy these pictures. Carole

These are some of the flowers we saw in Mexico. Today it was 93 degree. We stayed out of the sun. Tomorrow we leave this area and head north to the Hill Country.. Hope that it is cooler there. Guess I shouldn't complain. How is the weather up north? Carole

This is a HUGE cacti. There were alot of cacti in Mexico.

Tim is working on the shower room. They did not put in any drains.. Oh Well!!!!

Today we went to the original Iwo Jima Monument. It is located only 10 miles from here. We also viewed a movie about the War and the Marines. It is located on the grounds of the Marine Millitary Academy for boys. We aways see them dressed in sharp uniforms. Carole

This is the shower room they worked on. Later Tim hung the 2 doors. Some of this was done before we came. The man is Ray. Not Tim ...

This is Tim preaching in the street. The other man is Solomon to interept. All the rest of the team were behind the van praying for Tim.
