I enjoyed a great message and celebrated the risen Lord this morning at the sunrise service at Al Faw Palace. The gospel choir was in great voice and there was over 100 personnel in attendance. 
Unfortunately, the sun was blocked by low hanging clouds. It would have been asthetically perfect to have the first rays of light shine down on our congregation. No worries, a solid message and His presence set the day right for us all. Some additional pictures:
The Green Bean Coffee trailer I have mentioned before. My colleague, Tater, gets his morning MOAC (Mother Of All Coffee) from here. He has six shots of espresso in a large cup and topsit off with the house blend coffee. My recent favorite has been the Chai Espresso...Chai powder & milk mixed with an espresso shot or two.
Disclaimer: I have yet to find a coffee drink better than any served from the Holy Grounds at Mountain Home Church of the Nazarene. Not to worry, Dave, I am only settling for second best while deployed! ;)

Mark, Your latest posting is "way good" as your oldest would say. Your pics are excellent. It helps to see the land and culture you are trying to help. We are all thinking and praying for you and all our troops on this Easter morning. That must be some coffee in Idaho. Is that you in the tower? Suz, Juris, and I will be with Gramps this Easter. Easter diner at 11:45 am at Pinecrest Now that's Early Bird. Ha. Stay safe and looking forward to August and Colorado Springs.

Hey Mark! It's warmer there than it was in Florida!! It was in the 60's over the Easter break - it was pointless to pack the capri's and skirts - all I wore was my jeans and sweatshirt. Although it was chilly, it was still a wonderful visit. Grandpa was elated to see and hold Gracie. He was also excited to have 11 people at family dinner night. That probably hasn't happened since your crew left! Andra and I are thankful JJ's are down there to keep an eye on Grandpa and host us for the weekend. I'm certain the pictures will get to you soon. My eighth graders will be talking about you tomorrow so don't be concerned if your ears are ringing. Stay safe - August is coming!
