Finally a good deed

Today is Steve's birthday and what fun they are having this evening with a few friends over.  Nikki is looking great with her loss of more than 60 pounds, amazing really.  So very proud of her and she is sticking with it faithfully.

Today I inspected a home in Antioch, then drove to Martinez to see another, then hit the road for Rocklin, a long trip for sure.  I arrived on schedule at 1 pm, picked up a young man from Hong Kong named Moses and we left for the SF airport, We arrived there at 4:15 and since Moses did not fly out until 6:15 we had plenty of time.  We found his gate and he is on the first leg of a long trip, this trip to Japan will take 16 hours and then a 4 hour flight to Hong Kong afterwards.  He is a nice Christian boy with a beautiful girlfriend who helped see him off today. He is so funny, he says they argue every day no matter what and wonders if that is normal.  His English is so much better than when he came a few months ago, I picked him up from the airport then and drove him to Rocklin to Sierra College at that time.  His mom is fighting cancer and he is so happy to be going home to see his beloved family.  Once I left the airport I found a daunting GPS warning that it would take 3 hours to get home, then Nikki called to remind me of Steve's birthday party this evening, the trip was faster than the warning and before long I was enjoying pizza and German Chocolate Cake, wow was it good.

The home was filled with kids, friends and good cheer.  How I hate to come home alone and even though I got to talk to Ying via WeChat, a very good system where you can send photos and messages, even make phone calls.  That was nice but not the same as being together.

Will you pray for us, that we figure out the next step of our future if we are supposed to have a future?

Love to all

Tim
