It has been a cool week weather wise here in San Jose. It feels like an Iowa fall which is making us a bit homesick for a good college football game. Our ESPN does not show any of those games, but they sure like soccer. Actually, we are getting more used to watching soccer and enjoy a good goal. We have been able to watch bits and pieces of the World Series and once in a while a Monday night NFL game which has become a weekly tradition for Dad and Joshua to catch a least a few minutes of whatever game is showing that night.
This week Kayley was chosen for the 4th grade spelling bee. This is an honor as only 3 kids are chosen from each class. Kayley did not win, but performed well under the pressure of many eyes. She is now encouraged to read even more to learn more words so she can do even better next year.
There were many visitors to the seminary campus this week with a weekend retreat, education leaders' meetings and graduation all rolled into one long weekend. We participated mainly by making trips to the airport to help pick up folks. The graduation ceremony was great with representation from 9 countries including Brazil, Peru and Cuba. Many of the grads could not attend because of visa issues, but we enjoyed meeting those who were there and clapped for those who could not make it.
Our next door neighbors are the rectors of the seminary. They are Ruben and Monica Fernandez who both have doctorates and teach and administer SENDAS. They are wonderful neighbors and we enjoy them when they are around. Here they are being congratulated on another year of great work educating students throughout South and Central America.
We hope your week is a great. We are glad to hear the fires have died down in California and our friends in Carlsbad are safe and well.
Until next week,
The Webb Family
