Before I forget. Grandma asked for our mailing address. [private mission mailing address removed] 12 Calle, Avenida circunvalacion S.O. Edif. Yude Canahuati, 3 Nivel, oficina 4 Apdo. Postal #1970, San Pedro Sula, Cortez, Honduras, C.A. 11/20/2011 Been a tuff week but ya know we just get her done as the funny man would say. I just wonder how many times I don’t really enjoy my work and just get her done instead of standing back to admire life in its fullness. Yes there is a lot of sorrow in this world and it is just a lot of work to keep up with everything we are supposed to do but for some reason we just think it need be done right away. I was taking the elders to the bus terminal which is kind of a crazy place to be. Not as crazy as Peru bus station but close to it. I was just telling the elders that I have had close calls but not really hit anyone. So this bus on my right starts to cut me off in traffic. Well I finally stop because it was either hit the bus or move into the first lane where there’s already a car. I move a little into the first lane and the bus doesn’t stop just cuts me off the car next to me and I slam on my brakes but I don’t stop in time and hit the car next to me.. let me get it strait now there are three lanes the bus is in the far right turning left into two lanes and I hit the car next to me and the bus just drives off like nothing happen. I really don’t understand how anyone can ever think that is okay. Its not and luckily there is no road rage because there would be a lot more killing than there already are. I feel grateful for the blessing the lord gives me and your mother. I cannot deny that we are protected by some outside force. Literally we have close calls all the time. I can write a book on each time I thought this was it and it wasn’t. We visited a sister mom visit teaches and her heart is giving out. She is such a wonderful person and you can tell she is having a hard time with life. Her doctor told her not to walk anymore because she is so weak. It was a wakeup call for me knowing that life can change at any time of our lives and we need to enjoy the moment. Those moments will not come again ever. Take the time to enjoy what you are doing and find something you enjoy and go out and do it. To many times we think we cannot because of whatever reason you choose you just don’t do it. Life is real and those who choose to accept it will someday find themselves in a state of happiness and will not know how they got there. Live your life to its fullness with all the wonders that you think make it worth it without crossing the the line of regret. I love you guys with all my heart and choose to be a part of your lives for eternity. We all have our free agency and choose to make those decisions that we feel are right in our lives. Never give up on trying to make better decision in your life. Love alwys Dad
