We have been privileged to attend IHC this year for the first time since we have been married. God has come in the services so far. Tonight Br. Daniel Stetler preached a wonderful message which really challenged me to stay true to my conservative holiness heritage. And while there is nothing like being at the convention in person, it is good to know that we will be able to watch future conventions live when we are in Costa Rica
On our way out to Ohio we had the opportunity to stay with the Smiths, some good friends of my family. We enjoyed the fellowship, and I love their clock.
For those of you who don't already know this, Hispanics tend to be much more relationship oriented than they are time oriented. To put it simply without going into a long cultural discourse, that means that they show up late to a lot of things. Maybe I should just be a good, adaptable missionary and take this clock down with me when we move to Costa Rica

Yeah - we've been able to watch almost all the IHC services online! It's been nice to "be there" when we're really here in Mexico!
Oh, and speaking of the cultural time difference, we had a family show up for church two hours late last Sunday a.m...just in time for closing prayer. Good thing our service started late too...!!!!!
No, Rex, leave that clock at home. There's enough time confusion on the mission field what with daylight savings time (yes, some have it), actual "sun" time, the time that habit builds into people's actions, the ignoring of time in favor of people, the "manana" concept, and all that stuff, without having a clock that just has a bunch of numbers jumbled at the bottom.
