A Mixed Bag

Today was nuts. This morning my brother Eric, my sister Lisa, and I went to the Australian consulate to apply for passports. We've had dual citizenship for a while, but the passports will be an added blessing.

After returning home from that errand, Ruthie and I had to get new plates for our car, so we took it in to the tax place and took care of that.

Meanwhile, a short-term missions team from Tennessee was working with the kids at our complex. Some of the boys formed a club in a recliner under the playground. Unfortunately, a fight broke out and two of them had to be sent home:

Ruthie and I had a good time with Lesly today (yes, that's the way her name is officially spelled). We've grown very close with their family. Jennifer is her older sister and Melvin is her brother.

And this evening, I enjoyed some intense conversation with new friends. Thank God he's brought some like-minded people into my life.
