| Well, let me start this post with an introduction. This is an email interview from Char to her mom. Now Char is a student Misty and I know from our days in Austin, TX at our church home Fitzhugh Baptist. Char was an exceptional student leader and fervently sought to serve God and influence her generation for Him. She definitely worked out of the box of what some may typically think of coming from a small rural Southern Baptist Church. Needless to say my wife and I love Char and her family and are praying for her this Summer as she embarks and is already in , Mexico. She is serving with the former Missionary in Residence from her University and my Alma Mata and evidently learning quite a lot. Here is the excerpt: From Mom “Anymore students out there just itching to learn english from your sweet self? I hope you get a bunch. How far is the school from where you live? What is the bus like that you ride? The bacinos are still waking you? Are you in the mountains and are there wild flowers like orchids or other exotics? We have had a tremendous amount of rain and some storms around the area. Lots of growth, and my mowing is happening more often. Your dad and I have filled out our passport information just need a photo for it and then off we go to the po (Post Office) and get on the waiting list. Maybe I can get a good picture on your instamatic. . . . I miss you but I cant think too long on how far you are away. Just have to imagine that you are close . Doctor Roberts? called today about . . ., gave him your email address so he could contact you. hope that was okay. Love you wee one, please take care. mom” (Excerpted Private Parts . .. spelling corrected) From Char: “hey! well, some quck answers to your questions: no, the builders are done, they only finished the roof. now i wake up to my alarm or Norma knocking on the door to get me up to go work out. it’s been a solid week now, but (excerpted private part)…luckily i already payed for the month of June (26 bucks. not bad.) so i feel guilty if i don’t go, and i feel better after i do. yes, there are soft mountains here, kind of like in New Mexico in Eagle Nest. The city is in a big valley, and Ben’s house looks down and you can see the whole city in the bottom of the big mountain bowl. the landscape is a lot like the landscape beside the road from the mailbox to the top of the hill that leads to Hamilton pool…kinda dusty, little scrubby bushes, and lots, lots, lots of cactus. here the cactus will die and then grow on top of itself over and over so that it forms like a big trunk, so there are large cactus trees sometimes, and it’s the kind of cactus we have at home, so it’s different to see them like 4 or 5 feet off the ground. |
