Don and I received a call this morning from our oldest son, Justin. He was calling to see if we were going to be able to come home this summer.  I told him that we weren’t sure yet, but I said why, J?  He said well I’m going to talk about my life at church on July 15, 2012, at the First Presbyterian Church, Whitewright, Texas.  I said, you are going to give your testimony and he said yes.  I was so proud of him, that it was hard for me to speak.  Justin had gotten into some trouble many years ago and with God’s help he has turned his life around.  Also, this Church has supported him and been with him thru it all.  God, the Church and his family never gave up on Justin.  Now he will tell the community who saved him.

We are so proud of all our children.  They have each one had issues to deal with in their life and have all turned around and are going in the right direction.  Justin and family live in Randolph at the present and are planning to move to Whitewright in the very near future.   He is married to Brandi and they have 3 children.  Jeremy and family live in Pottsboro about ½ mile from Don and me. He has two great sons.   Holly and family live in Charlotte, North Carolina. She is married to Matt and they have two daughters.  We miss all of them and our wonderful grandchildren.  One good thing now is that we can talk to them or email them as much as we want to, since we are in Puerto Rico.

Don and I took our dingy to San Juan to be fixed.  It had gotten a slit in the side in the incident and we needed it fixed before we transport the boat to Ponce for repair.  Got it back and waited like they told us to do before putting air into the dinghy.  We put the air in last night and this morning it was flat.  We were upset, but the work is guaranteed.  Now back to San Juan this week.  Oh well, I can get another shopping day!

Had to transport the dingy on top of the car!

We are doing great!  Our attitudes are good too.  Like Bob Bitchin (Author) says:  “Attitude is the difference between an adventure and an ordeal.”

Until next time:  Have a Great Day!

Love, Don and Janis
