I looked out the window this afternoon and saw a sky full of ginormous snow flakes. I found my camera and captured this image of those amazingly huge flakes. Scenes like this makes me realize how much I enjoy the shelter of our house. Especially since the snow has been falling all day.
I failed to post anything to this blog during the entire month of October. I took a few pics, but never turned them into a story for you. Perhaps on another day, I will.
Friday and Saturday we had special guests. We’ve known Americo and Kathy Saavedra since the spring of 1975, when we met in Quito, Ecuador. We worked closely with them for the rest of that year and have been in touch with them since then.
It was so good to share stories and dreams with them. Americo told of translating for an Australian who was visiting Ecuador. The Aussie gent kept referring to “kind and eyeball.” It was very confusing. Then he noticed our mutual friend Charlie (also an Aussie) laughing heartily. Charlie whispered to him, “It’s Cain and Able.”
The Saavedras will officially retire at the end of this year. That doesn’t mean sit on the sideline for them. Americo has plans to continue developing Bible teachers and mentors through out Latin America and beyond.
Beautiful snowfall and old friends. Can’t beat that combination!
True. However those friends have spent most of their lives in Ecuador. For that reason, they were glad to be gone before the snow fell.
Time with old friends is a precious gift!
You called that one correctly, Marie. I particularly liked your Remembrance Day post today.
How wonderful to see them again!
Indeed it was, Lin. We had lots of stories to share and heaps of laughs that come only with your special friends.
So nice you could see old friends!
It was very nice. It had been four or five years since we saw them last.
