Hey Friends,
Thanks for stopping by for a visit for this Thursday. It is a pleasure to have you drop by.
Mom found an old photo album the other day. The pictures brought back a lot of good memories. I scanned a couple of the photos to share with you. I may choose some others in the future.
These pictures are from our first trip to Mexico with Bro. Larry Landress in the early 1990s. Bro. and Sis. Landress were still in language school. If my memory is correct, Bro. Larry also preached his first full message in Spanish the day these pictures were taken. It was an honor to experience that moment in history with our friends!
Dad also preached with an interpreter for the first time here. Bro. Craig Benner interpreted that message. Dad often said he could not get his message out that day. He also said Bro. Benner must have preached a great message in Spanish. The people listening to the message were touched greatly by God!
Below is a snapshot of our family on this Mexico trip. I remember this photo being taken. It is crazy to me how random memories are engraved in my mind.
I am so thankful for all the moments I was blessed to experience with our family. We can look back on many of them in the blog archives.
See you next time.

Good morning, Odie. I have been in Donna, TX helping with the toy drive to Mexico at Champion Holiness Missions. I actually just missed Bro. Larry Landress by a few days. Since we have campmeeting at my church in Riverbank, CA over the long Thanksgiving weekend, I just started decorating for Christmas yesterday. I pulled out my box of Christmas music and your family Christmas CD "He Came" was right on top. Tears began to roll, and I put it in my CD player and listened to the entire thing, including Bro. Davy's message, as tears continued to fill my eyes. I pulled up your blog to let you know and saw this story. I "preordered" your Christmas CD before I had ever met your family. Sis. Valerie loaned me another CD to listen to you guys, to convince me to order it. I'm thinking that must have been 2012? :-) <3 I continue to pray for you and Sis. Kelly. Love you!
