I haven’t written in a while because I am not sure what is worth saying. I think that most of you know that Pamela is in America for a one-month visit. She departed on September 26th and returns on October 28th. We have survived her absence, but the last half of her trip has been more difficult for us than the first half. I kind of expected that it would be that way. My schedule has been quite busy with taking care of the boys, teaching school, and weekly ministry commitments. We are all looking forward to her return and having a full family again.

I continue to be amazed at what is going on in the world of sports. I don’t remember a college football season with so many upsets (probably because there hasn’t been one). I see that Tennessee got whipped by Bama yesterday. So, at least the Corders and Brian Rhodes are happy. I am surprised that Brian hasn’t emailed me already to tell me the score. Of course, Brenda did email already.

I didn’t get to the internet for about 10 days and could not believe it when I saw that the Rockies are in the World Series. I am very happy for Todd Helton and hope that they win.

Ministry is going very well right now and very busy as well. I have four commitments each week to either teach or preach and I spend lots of time in preparation. I am still teaching 6th grade math and science each day and still enjoying it. I wasn’t sure about accepting this commitment, but glad that I did and am finding it rewarding.

We are finally in a regular routine and not having to work on logistical stuff as much. We still have lots of logistics remaining on the children’s home, though, and I know that it will require lots of time.

Pamela has really enjoyed her time in the States and sounds like her old self again. For those of you who have been with her, thank you for your encouragement and love.

I think that I have been too busy to really think about writing anything of interest so sorry for such a boring blog. Maybe there will be more news next time.

Blessings,
Kevin

Some pictures from our visit with Pamela's dad that I was unable to post last time. Hopefully it works today.

also, Pam's cell number in the states is 850-582-2143.
