How does the song go? When the dog bites, when the bees sting? Yes, when things don’t go the way that you’d like them to go, it is always refreshing to think about your favorite things. In this case, I thought alot about my family. I sure miss them, and […]

We’ve made it to Veracruz, though not without a bit of hassel from the Mexican Authorities. Suffice to say, although Vincente Fox has told us that it is getting better everyday, there are still some out there, on the bypass around Mexico City, that want to take your money. Watch out.
On now […]

Did you ever feel that you were a bit out of control, kind of like you were riding in the back of a pickup with a gas grill going 50 mph? Well the experience crossing the border can feel that way, especially if you are bringing in all that you own!
We crossed into Mexico […]

Monday morning early, and I mean early, the kids and I arrived at the Springfield-Branson Regional airport to board a plane that would take us first to Atlanta, then to Mérida, Yucatan, Mexico. Everything went smoothly, albeit slowly with 3 young kids, through scanners and checkpoints, with each one carrying their own carry-on luggage
When […]

1. If the Boarder Patrol follows you for two miles seeing if two guys from Missouri really are pulling personal items into Mexico.
2. If you see a green beetle taxi that looks like it still is in service.
The two Dave’s made it to the boarder tonight! We saw Kelly and the kids off at Springfield […]

I know that I finished my last short post with a more later promise, but circumstances precluded a rapid expansion of the details of the journey, as we have found ourselves bouncing from home base to home base without a broadband Internet connection. This post is an attempt at correcting this shortfall. Forgive the low-tech listing nature […]

Yes, we have finally made it to the end of our language school experience. This Friday, Kelly and I, along with 15 other missionaries and university students graduated from the CINCEL program. More later, but we’ve got to get some sleep. We just finished packing and we leave for the airport at […]
Aug 9th 2006DaveMexico & Prayer & Progress
We’d like to say thank you to all who had been praying for us as we travelled to Mexico for our meeting with the general presbytry there. Here are some things that did not happen:
We did not have trouble exiting Costa Rica or entering Mexico.
We did not find ourselves delayed or detained as a […]
Aug 5th 2006DaveCostaRica & Media & Nature
We had the opportunity to travel to Tortuguero last weekend to celebrate Kelly’s 30 something birthday. While we were on the trip, we realized that, besides the green sea turtles, there are other natural wonders that grow to become quite large. Spiders were certainly in that category as was this elephant beetle. […]
