Dottie is putting on her make-up and preparing to drive me to the airport. I am not a guy that likes going anywhwere without my wife. But it is just a long weekend. My son, Tony, will pick me up in Houston and tomorrow night I will have dinner with three of my daughters in Lafayette, Becky, Tanya and Crissy.

Two really positive things happened yesterday. Flor de Maria received her grades on her entrance exam to San Carlos University and she scored above 100%. That is so incredible and indicates what she has intellecually. I am so proud of her.

Silvio,in med school at San Carlos, was chosen to attend symposiums in Panama, Mexico and El Salvador and leaves Monday on that trip. I say chosen because the medical school is funding 80% of the cost. He is so bright, so good and such a blessing to me.

Brother Teddie from Grand Bay, Al is coming with a team to build more houses for widows. He will bring some of our sponsor gifts sitting in Lake Charles so many of you who were worried now have a chance that your gift will reach your child. Because of him I wille able to carry 2 bags also when I return on Monday.

Pray for Dottie and the staff as David is gone and I will be gone for 3 days. Itputs pressure on the staff remaining.
