For those who do not know it we are on furlough in the states. We are currently in Abilene, TX and will be here until Jan 28 (then we start traveling a little more to see other people we miss and love). We are really enjoying our time in the states. We are trying to eat all of the mexican food we can and it has been goooood.

As you would imagine plans don't always go like you had planned. This past weekend we had a little bit of a surprise as Texas and most of the plains welcomed an ice storm. For those of us living down south we forget temperatures like these exist as we have spent the past several days below the freezing mark. All of this has taught Kelton a new word "Cold." All in all though we are having a great time. The ice, while a little dangerous to drive on, has made for a beautiful landscape all around us. Who knows later this week we may even get a bit of snow. (We can only hope).

Depsite the cold we have still spent time with great families. Over this past weekend we sat down with several families we love and talked their lives and ours and all that God is doing around us.

We love it all, but I must say it makes us a little homesick, not just to see the temperatures up where they are familiar, but also to see all of our friends we keep talking about. It is going well and we will try to keep you updated from time to time.
