Wednesday, May 19

Terry took us to a Texas history Museum. It was an interesting exhibit of a 100 year history of Texas and the early settlers. Some of the stories are really sad, of course, and others one wonders how these people managed to survived.

She then took us to downtown Abilene which still has the old brick buildings, nice quaint street and angle parking on the street. The storefronts are really neat. We ate at a place called Alley Cats which had such delicious sandwiches and tortilla wraps and so big—I hope I do not put on weight while on this trip as it is only the second week.

Anna,Terry and Ron’s younger daughter, and her husband Tom, and two boys came over for dinner. We went to the 7:00 pm evening service at their church.

The pastor preached a good message about reaching out to the community and being an effective witness. At the end, all the men went to the altar and prayed for the prayer list. Then we were dismissed and met the pastor. He has been at the church since March, having served in a church in Oregon for 41 years.
