Thank you all for your concern after my fight, which, by the way, was a first. After the Superbowl I met some guys on the same corner who invited me to join them in football, soccer and basketball, which they play a block away every night. I intend to go soon and will probably meet some of the guys that attacked me there. Please pray that God uses me to reach out to them.
Here is a picture blog including a couple of parties – one at my house last Sunday, the next at El Puente on Valentine’s Day. I like to think of this as a more accurate perception of a church service than many I’ve been to before, and I’d venture to say the majority in the U.S.. I’d be interested to hear you thoughts! The Nica Novas team is pretty incredible! You get a little feel for my house in the first several pictures, but I’ll put up a video of it soon so you can really see where Baker and I are living.

This group’s a fun one
The day after our second annual goat slaughter (read about
the mishaps of our first one), we prepare the meat for the girls and serve them for a Valentine’s day feast.
Garrett fries “maduros” – ripe plantanes… they’re pretty yummy
Trevor grills the goat meat and puts some maduros on as well
