It is Monday morning (Labor Day in the USA) and the kids are home from school today. Their school follows the American system, so they receive a holiday today. They are enjoying it by arising a bit late and enjoying their breakfast while watching cartoons.
Not much news this week. We've had a normal, regular week with one important meeting and much planning ahead. In fact, that's why David is in Nicaragua now. He left on Saturday afternoon during a rain storm for the border. He checked through customs the next morning (Sunday) and reached Managua safely by yesterday afternoon. This morning he is on his way by plane to Puerto Cabezas which is on the eastern coast. And yes, that is just south of the projected path of Hurricane Felix. The hurricane is expected to hit the north part of the Nicaraguan coast and Honduras Tuesday morning.
It is my understanding David will fly out mid-morning on Tuesday, if that is possible. So you can pray for David as he is traveling this week. He will return on Friday night if all goes well. He is in that area to prepare for a Jesus Film team that will be coming in February to minister there.
Since I don't have much other news, I thought I'd share with you all the beauty we get to enjoy each day. Out our back door we have two of my favorite plants. They are some variety of the Bird of Paradise, but I don't know their official names. I just know they are interesting and beautiful.
We also get to enjoy various bugs, beetles and critters in our backroom and yard. This lizard was a regular in our back room for quite some time but lately apparently has found better housing, probably a place without a dog.
The beetle was in our grass slowing making its way to who knows where. He is about 2.5 inches long, good sized in my opinion.
Well, that's it for this week. Keep David in your prayers as he travels and the kids as they head back to school tomorrow. We are so thankful they have gotten off to a great start this semester.
God bless you all,
The Webb Family
