The Best First Father's Day EVER!

Coen is crawling!! He is fully recovered from his sickness and is eating with a healthy appetite. I couldn't ask for more from a little guy on my first Father's Day. He started crawling on Friday just a day before we left for the spiritual retreat with the church on Calle Rincon. He is now in to everything that his little body can reach. I decided that I would no longer look to buy him any toys. I will just look for an old box. He played with an old box for about a half hour the other day. He was picking it up, turning it over and opening the flap back and forth, just to see how it all works.

Kristen, Coen and I went to Embalse for the retreat which is one of the pueblos that we, along with Dan, Millie and others, have evangelized in the past, while Kristen and I were making plans for our wedding. The contrast on Sunday morning was amazing. On one end of the hotel was a Catholic sanctuary with a service just starting as i came down to participate in the Lord's Supper. On the other end was where the Church was meeting to celebrate our Lord. The difference of the worship was astounding. In the cathlolic church there was what sounded like mangled noise, and in our worship... sweet communion!

"If not for Your salvation, where would I be...
I would be like a bird fallen limp on the ground... A deer panting for the water brook in the middle of a desert....
