Little Rock to Memphis.
Just long enough to be . . . well . . . long.
For entertainment, Sophia chews on her big toe.

Look what poppi found! This guy was wandering in the wilderness (Home Depot parking lot).
Two years ago I snagged this amazing backpack baby lugger. Ten bucks at a garage sale in Little Rock. I hauled Sophia up Pinnacle Mountain in it. Now, it’s Sam’s turn. We hit the trails at Shelby Farms. We saw two deer, a raccoon, and a rabbit.
We spent a good bit of time with the Hutchison family in Lima. You might remember the infamous driving incident. This is a report that was done by a Lima news channel a few years back.

9:30am. Cabot, AR. Stomping Grounds Coffee Shop.
I’ve an article due today. It’s way too early to get anything coherent onto the screen. Not that 9:30 is real early. But, I’m helping my in-laws remodel part of their house, and I’m not accustomed to spackling/painting ceilings for extended amounts of time. I did that most of yesterday.
Ties are a requirement at MABTS. A lot of folks don’t like it. It is a bit of a pain at times. But, it’s a part of the MABTS experience and it’s something we all share in. So, it’s cool.
Germantown Baptist Church took up a tie offering and donated all 409 ties to MABTS students. It was like a big garage sale with nothing but free ties.
These guys were awesome.
A group of students from MABTS are serving in Santiago de Chocorvos, Peru this summer. Kirby Woods Baptist Church has adopted a people group segment there and are working towards planting several indigenous churches in the area. I had the opportunity to go to the area just a few months back.
David Cole, team leader and recent graduate of MABTS, just sent an update from Santiago. Here’s a paragraph from his email:
We have also told some stories to Celia (the hostel keeper) and her family. We even had them act out the story of David and Goliath as we told it (Randall was Goliath!). She remains very open. Her husband works in Ica and is rarely here in Santiago. This family has two Bibles and the entire family can read.
Justin Hartzell, one of the team members, has been posting updates to his facebook. Here’s a snippet.
6/1, 10PM. Sitting in my bed, typing on the good old Dell Inspiron B130, which has long since been discontinued. The first 36 hours in Santiago de Chocorvos has been nothing short of eventful. We arrived yesterday around 3pm, after a long, long trip in taxi’s up a muy peligroso (very dangerous), very narrow, and very unpaved road. I must say that the scenery was amazing. Skies so blue that you hurt to look at them . . .
You can read the rest of Justin’s entry here.
This was impressive.
The best part of staying in a hotel is jumping on the bed!
