The March Gang

Well Bro. Mac and I arrived early Wednesday morning back in Ireland.  We had to come and take care of the container that was being shipped with three family’s personal belongings and building material for Sunday School room additions.  The building material was keeping the container from shipping.  It is a long story but the Cliff Notes version basically was that the EU has put a restriction on all raw lumber being shipped from the USA.  Seems, or at least they say, there was a bug show up in a container and they were afraid that it was going to eat a tree or something.   So they have stopped all imports of US lumber.  We had to remove all the building material and repack what was left.   My Dad, Kevin Raposo and Bro. Bobby Gentry came up along with a man, Kevin…his last name has slipped my mind from Bro. Suey’s church, to help us accomplish this.  Bro. Mac and I were very grateful that they did.  We got it all done in one day and since we did I got to go home for a few days.

That being said it was great to be home and see everyone.  I just wish Tara and the kids could have been with me.  Yes I left my wife and kids in a foreign country.  I appreciate everyone who called and emailed Tara while I was gone.  It meant a lot to her and the kids. Peyton and Kirsten want to thank WPCA and the Sunday School Department for all the cards you sent them.  They also want to thank everyone who said hello to them on the video their Aunt Eleisha made them.  Simeon also had a special thank you to a few special buddies.  He wants to thank Connor for his Green Lantern picture he colored for him, Kenzie for the Christmas tree coloring page, his cousin Wyatt for the Batman cape and mask and his buddy Greg for the drum sticks.  He has not quit beating everything in sight since he got them.  Tara thanks you too Greg.

Well tomorrow we are off on a trip to Scotland.  We are going to be spending an entire week there with the Kelly’s and several other Missionary families.  We will end the week by celebrating Thankgiving.  We have ministers meetings this Saturday which is why we are leaving so early.  I am not sure how much access to the Internet we will have, but I will get pictures up as quickly as possible.  I am even going to have some video of the trip posted as well.

We are excited about all this and look forward to sharing our adventures with you as soon as we can.
