Getting Well

On Monday, after picking the kids up from school, Mayra and I took the kids to a little restaurant where comida corrida is served. You get a drink, a soup, rice or pasta and a main meat dish for 30 pesos, or around $2.15, not a bad deal, really. I had the caldo de pollo con arroz(chicken broth with rice), and a chuleta (pork chop) with chipotle sauce, or some such thing.

Later that day, at around 10 p.m., I drove to the airport to have a meeting with Fernando Amezcua, who was flying out to Nicaragua at 3:30 a.m. I hardly ever get to see Fernando, because he lives in Guadalajara, and wanted to touch base with him regarding some workshops for a missions conference in June. Samuel, Luis, Laura and I (probably) will all be doing a workshop. On the way to the airport I began to feel a little queasy. Just a passing, troubling feeling that you hope goes away.

I ordered a Vainilla Frappuchino at Starbucks, with that whipped cream on top. That could have been a mistake. David Gomez went with me. On our way back, around 12 midnight, I told David that I might have to pull over on the way to...oh, so many words used to describe what I needed to do.

I won't go into details, but it wasn't pretty. I was pretty much in bed for all of Tuesday, with a fever most of the day. I finally started getting better after taking some medication.

All of this comes during a busy week. This Sunday we are expecting visitors from a total of four different churches, with Toño Muñoz preaching, as we recognize Martin as our church's first pastor/elder. Lots to due. This Sunday is going to be a celebration at Sendero...something we hardly do here HA!

A couple more things...pray for Lindsey Bridges and Becky Baron Muñoz as they both recover from surgery, and also for Priscilla Pan, as she prayerfully considers ministering here this fall.
