More Trees Down!

Hello Everyone!
We are currently in the Kansas City area for meetings and for interviews with General Board, but we have heard that progress is being made on the trees near our home in San Jose. Just before we left on Feb. 13th, I took a few photos to post. It is quite a slow process to cut down these very tall trees.

First each branch is cut with a machete and then, when the tree is just a very tall stump, the trunk is cut off from the top in small sections which fall to the ground with a bang!

We know that our "backyard" will look very different when we return to San Jose in a week.

We have a final service tonight (Monday) and then we will enjoy 3 days of vacation with the family in Iowa. It will be a good break before heading back to the field. We have enjoyed speaking in 3 different churches during our time here in KC. We were with two College Church (Olathe, KS) Sunday School classes last week and this week we visited two Methodist churches near Adrian, MO. We met the nicest people with open hearts to missions.

I hope to find time this week to post another blog to continue the post about the Coshocton Team to North Nicaragua. Only part of that story has been told so far.

God bless you all!

Yikes about those trees! We had some similar trees behind our house in Vancouver. They like to swing a LOT when it is windy!
