This weekend was re-lax-ing! I slept in on Saturday, worked on trip home itenerary, cleaned, did laundry, and packed some things to send home with our soon-to-be visiting parents. It was good - like spring cleaning. Jeremy and Taylor went to Platoro Resevior to go flyfishing. He has one picture on his cell phone that is absolutely beautiful. He had taken the other camera, but its battery was dead. Maybe he can post from his phone. They did not have luck with the fish, so it was a bit frustrating in that way, but I think they enjoyed the opportunity to get out.
Sunday, we had our first "home church" worship. No, we are not starting a church plant, but we needed something more than our normal churches; two Sundays a month we are going to do this. It was really nice. David and Emmy played instruments for music worship. Claire picked out a sermon to listen to - Brian McLeron (I think that is how you spell his name). It was a great message I thought. I think I enjoyed it more because after the message we shared what thoughts it raised, what stood out, and questions. It kept me engaged. Then, we had an open sharing with prayer for one another. And we ended with the traditional Mennonite..... potluck! It was us (unit people) and Andy and Alice (unit leaders), but we had invited other volunteers who may be interested. We'll see if anyone else comes next time, but if not, that's okay.
I am going to digress to last Wednesday - our softball game. For those following our season from afar... It was a windy night, cloudy, with sprinkles of rain throughout. We looked pretty good as a team, relaying the ball in from the outfield and making plays. We also did pretty good at bat. We scored 14 runs. Unfortunately, the other team scored 22 runs, and we lost. They had a great hitter/fielder, who racked up to home runs -over the fence. His third attempt was thwarted by a diving catch by Jeremy - yea!! They were a fun team to play against, which makes losing easier. Our next game is this coming Wednesday at 9:30 at night! Hopefully, we will still be awake :)
Until later...

Greetings from Westerville. We, along with the Chilcote's, got to visit the Chipotle on Evans when we visited Denver back in 2006. We got t-shirts from the manager as well, but not a tour. Lucky dogs. I remember the trap door because he had to go "down the hole" to get our shirts. Things are changing back here...people getting married and others having babies. Look for an email in the next day or so about our small group. We miss you guys.
Mark and Lorien
