From Dad 11/2
Dear Family,
Mom smiles at all the great detail in my letters. It's all in the fingers. Wehave 20 minutes and then the Outreach Center computers dump whatever is there.So thinking fast, typing fast with no mistakes is the key. In the meantime, whatyou see is what you get!
We love our mission. Mom is still a great sport. There is no question we will gothe distance. There is also no question her bags will be packed and no one willhave to say to her when it's time to return home, "Are you ready yet?" Each daynew people are being added to those with whom we are working. Mom and I are alsobecoming very attached to these contacts, their challenges, their warm heartsand gentle feelings, and with some their keeping a distance and checking us andthe Gospel out.
We are finding some foods mom is getting to like and even enjoy. She is stillnot a big breakfast fan but does sit down frequently and go through the motionsof having breakfast. She's great. Her sense of humor is alive and well and keepsme smiling daily. My driving is still a big concern, but we are working on it.Mom still gets totally disoriented which direction we are going and is amazedwhen somehow we end up where we set out to go. Most of the time she knows andnavigates and things go smoothly - until I miss a turn or turn too soon. Then wejust correct and go again. This part happens with much less stress than atfirst. We love all you guys. Please keep the letters, pictures, and funny storiescoming our way. Have a great week.
Love always,
Dad
