Our Blessings

Things we're grateful for....
  • the weather! its finally changing into the cooler temperatures that everyone has talked about-they really were telling the truth!

  • our progress, personally, spiritually, and business-wise.

we have been busy working on getting physically fit. Waldo has found a basketball team to play on, Cay takes classes at the gym we go to, we both weight-lift when we can, and Cay walks in the morning and evening with our dogs.

  • we are investing more time in prayer, scripture study, and lesson preparation. It is helping us feel closer, to eachother and God.

  • Ford has been breaking all sorts of records in the Middle East region

Ford has been making steady improvements year by year, and especially in this area of the world. They are in a much better position at the end of this quarter than in the end of 2006, and this is in large part due to Waldo's efforts. He just finished a radio program interview with a very popular radio program here. If they could only pronounce the name right!

  • our health.

We have both been sick, and recovery is slow, because of course we can't stop just to get well! Especially Waldo, who has press conferences and interviews this week because of the Dubai Auto Show, and travelled non-stop from October 13-November 3, came home sick and got ready for the interviews. He is even now getting ready for another cocktail reception! Cay at least can delegate some, by sending other people to buy things. She's been working on putting together a girls'camp experience for the young women she works with at church, as well as preparing the last university class before student teaching next semester. So we are really grateful that this is almost the first time we have been sick, and we will really appreciate it when we're well!

Trivial things we're grateful for!

  • A Borders bookstore has opened in the nearest mall (to add to the many great bookstores to be found here)
  • Coldstone Creamery, a great ice cream store,is here too
  • IKEA now sells the frozen Swedish meatballs here

Of all the things we're grateful for, the greatest is our friends and family. We thank the Lord on a daily basis for you, and pray for your continued peace, safety and well being. We miss you all--We love you!
