First few days back

There have been many surprises for us since coming back to the states. We love the fact that there is a Starbucks in every store and on every corner. We just wish we had enough money to stop at each one of them. :-) One thing we had forgotten that surprised us was the size of the portions of food. We don't ask for anything super sized anymore. It is just to much food. No wonder so many Americans are overweight. The food portions are incredibly huge.

Today we went shopping in Albertsons and were in awe. There is not a store in Honduras that is as big as that one. We found so many things that were so cool. It is so different shopping in Honduras as many times you cannot find what you want or you have to settle for something a little different.
Today we went to a Spanish Department picnic for our home church. After that we went out RV hunting as we are trying to buy one and we want to get all of our options. We have spent parts of three days doing this and it is a lot of fun. I always try to get them to show me all the 5th wheels they have even if I cannot afford them just because it is fun to look. We found a great one that is near our price range, but we will see what God provides. The kids went with us for the first time today. They loved it. The first thing they tried to do was jump on the beds. Why do kids think that they can get away with that when they are not at home if they are never allowed to do it at home? We had a great time.

We loved driving today as the mountain was out today. For those of you who are not from the Pacific Northwest, that means that there were no clouds so you could see the mountain. I took several pictures to show to my friends in Honduras what a real mountain is. They have no idea what snow is.

Please continue to pray with us that God would give us the right trailer for us. We praise the Lord for the truck that he gave us. It is wonderful. There is so much space. There

is room for three carseats and if we were in Honduras we could fit at least six adults on the back seat alone not to mention the floor and in the pickup bed. We can not even get a picture of all three kids as the backseat is just to large. We are still trying to find out what mileage we get. We have done so much city driving so far that our number will be low, but it will be good to know that it should not go much lower than that.
