Bushwacking
On Monday morning, dudes from my church gathered together on the new church property wielding machetes. We tore through the back part of the land that descends on a creek and a spring. We had to make a path for surveyers who are coming next week to do up plans for new construction. We killed … [Read more…]
from Chitzujay to Cuyquel
I’ve installed my last stove. The owners asked me in December to hold delivery until their new house was built (I delivered my second to last stove in May for the same reason). Their house is in Chitzujay, Cobán – up over the mountain to the north for 30 minutes of back roads. The drive … [Read more…]
Royal Solitaire or Royal Waste of Time
One of the iPod games I’ve bought is Royal Solitaire. It is a collection of 10 versions of solitaire card games. FreeCell (one of my life goals is to Win 25 FreeCell Games in a Row) and Klondike (the solitaire game that comes with Windows and also with the iPod) were familiar to me before, … [Read more…]
The Dam of Chixoy
Last weekend we drove the half hour to the hydro-electric dam in Chixoy. We brought our friends, Hector and Ericka along as they had never been either. The road goes down and down and down into a valley. After about 20 minutes of driving in the heat we pulled up to some men walking and … [Read more…]
Anecdote
Yesterday, as I was giving Julie, a fellow missionary, a ride home in the rain, she told me that she was told one of her letters was hanging on a bulletin board outside the post office. I asked if she had gotten it yet. She hadn´t. So we went to get it. When we arrived … [Read more…]
Concentration
We’ve been experiencing frequent blink power outages over the past 2 weeks. Everyday, there are two to three or more of these. My computer shuts down in a flash and then all my other gadgets power-up and I am left nursing my programs back to life. What gets me the most is that I still … [Read more…]
Justin: Photographer Extraordinaire
As I mentioned a few weeks back, my buddies Alan and Justin were here for a visit. While here, Justin took over 800 photos with his Nikon. It was great to see what he was able to see through the lens. He captured expressions of our children. He presented us with textures we daily walk … [Read more…]
3-Dimensional Home
A while back I installed Sweet Home 3D on my iMac and I’ve been tinkering around with it every now and then. I’ve always enjoyed designing dream homes and making them as elaborate as possible, but lately, I just want something utilitarian and that is mine.

Date Night w/ Wife
Amber and I finally went out on a date, after more than a year. Children. We took some friends along, newlyweds, to help us remember how it´s all done. Got a baby sitter (our sponsor child) (bonus) and headed to Coban to see Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull. Then we grabbed … [Read more…]
