October 26, 2007

(Sorry this is out of order - had a little problem with the edit function)
Instead of Brad going to prison Friday night Cindy came up the with great idea of the two of us going on a date. As we begin talking about going a date we realized we had not been a date where we just focused on being with each since we made the decision in April to go to Honduras. Since April, whenever we spent time together we talked either about our photography business or going to Honduras. So, Friday night we started our date about 4:30 pm by going to The Vineyard, getting a coffee, and reading books for a couple of hours. Then we went to Newburgh and ate, for the first time, at the Newburgh CafĂ©. What a great place to eat. Great food. Great atmosphere. A nice change from the chain restaurants. We spent the evening just talking about whatever – yes Honduras did come up. It was nice just to spend a night with the one you’re crazy about and not have an agenda except to be with the other one.

The next day Brad was reading a missions magazine article about the top ten reasons missionaries leave the mission field. It was a survey the writer had done with several veteran missionaries. One of the reasons was a failure to spend time on the marriage relationship. Could this be God speaking? Once again, we are seeing that part of this support team building process is getting us ready for what we will experience in Honduras.
