Fair Weather

On one of the flights, probably shortly before Elaine took advantage of the ability to curl up on 2 seats.

My husband is a fair weather fan. I know this about him. It apparently applies to entire sports, not just teams. over the past few weeks, many of you know the Texas Rangers (baseball team) have made history, winning their first American League Pennant, and a ticket to the World Series. My new baseball fan of a husband went to great lengths to keep up with the series-- I even thought he was going to opt for the eighth and ninth innings of the final game in the airport seating area instead of boarding our final flight home. He didn't. He did ask the flight attendant if the pilot would be willing to give in-air reports on the game. He did.

We met up with Wes' cousin Chris and heard his band play. Wes even got up on stage.

Wes and I enjoyed good visits with family, friends, and churches both in Texas and Pennsylvania over the past few weeks. We were able to share about the work we're doing here, and stories about the ways we see God working in the lives of the Soldiers, Airmen and families around us. We returned after a long three weeks to a still thriving ministry, a clean and slightly improved home, and a needy dog. It's good to be home, and I know that I'm incredibly thankful for the people in our community that keep things going and growing, even while we're away! This trip serves as an obvious seasonal transition for us, on with winter!

While in TX we met up with an old High School friend of Elaine's, Karen. It was great catching up and meeting her little family (and great that they live so close to Wes' family now)

In the up coming months we look forward to sending eight of our people on a 2 week mission trip to the Dominican Republic, Wes teaching a series through the book of Jonah, a final visit from our (beloved) retiring Cadence Regional directors, celebrating Thanksgiving and Christmas with our community, and the arrival of our baby!

At Hyner Lookout in Renovo, PA. We took a nice drive with Elaine's dad to check out the beautiful foliage!

Thanks for keeping up with us. I pray that you are all well too.

Elaine (&Wes)
