Back in Odessa

One last lunch with Margaret and Julia before leaving

I arrived safely back in Odessa Sunday afternoon with no problems and all of my luggage! Rooms were rearranged while I was gone, so I've been working the last couple of days on unpacking and moving everything into place. It was a joy to spend Monday and Tuesday nights at the church seeing so many friends and all of the great ministry that is going on right now. I thought I was having problems with my allergies upon arrival and woke up in the middle of the night last night with my throat inflamed and a full-blown cold. How do these things come up so quickly?? So I've spent today resting and not talking and trying to get caught up on some things online. I've finally posted some pictures from my time in the U.S. and you can find those by clicking on the title of this post. You just might see yourself in there!
