Weekend Wrap-up

I've been working on a quarterly newsletter the past few days. That's just about done, and tomorrow I'll send that off to the MAF US office for final approval and printing. We really have a nice system available to us, where we send an electronic copy to the MAF office in Redlands, and they print it out and mail it for us. Many missionaries in foreign countries do not have that sort of option, but need to print it, stuff it in envelopes, and mail it out themselves.

Now I'm starting to work on my taxes. I do those online at TurboTax.com. Hopefully I have all the necessary forms, and I'll be able to get that done this week. That's the plan anyway.

We just finished watching recorded episodes of the Amazing Race. I think there were two races this season, and we just watched the first one. Very fun stuff. I always want to be a better person when I watch that show. Somehow those stressful situations have the ability to bring out the worst in people, and I can see some of myself in the way some of the racers act under stress. I don't want to act that way at all, and these shows are good reminders of that.

Now we're off to Chad's and Andi's to watch American Idol and to have dinner. Ellyn has made chimichangas and we're taking those over for dinner.
