I worked through the weekend (except for Sunday morning meeting) and got a ton of stuff down for my job this weekend.  It was a really great weekend in that respect, but now I have just a few evenings to get the apartment cleaned up, get everything moved into my pickup, get all the utilities lined up for our rental house, and get ready to go back to Oregon for the big drive east.  It is a little frustrating to have a week long hiatus in my work at my new company, but even more frustrating to be here without my family.  I am really looking forward to the drive out and am genuinely excited about my new job and the new people with whom we will be meeting for bible studies, gospel, and fellowship meeting.  The elder of our Sunday morning meeting has invited the meeting to his home for the 4th of July.  His wife is from Panama and speaks Spanish.  They have a beautiful home with a swimming pool, so it should be a great time for Kelly and Christian and time for all of us to get a little better acquainted with our whole meeting.

Special note to Christian:  This is what you want to get!!!
