Volver al Huracan

My heart isn't in the whole bread business lately, for like that past 2 months or so. I have almost put in for a week off a few times now, just so I can regroup, but I think that if I had a week off and just hung out here at home, I'd go insane. Yesterday made me wish that I could go to Houston for my week off. I've been in contact with this Houston family who is helping a lot at the AstroDome, and there is so much to do still there. And yesterday, I found out that two of the husbands from the Iglesia went to New Orleans to help out there. I was with Beto's (one of the guys that went) wife last night when he called her, and they were in the airport and it looked like something blew up in there. It was a huge disaster (no surprise there I guess). It would be nice to be able to take a week away and actually go do something constructive. 1,000 of the Louisinanians are coming to Oregon on Wednesdayish. It looks like they will all be in Portland, although I heard news that some may come down here too. We'll see. Anyhow, the wheels are still cranking in my head about going somewhere for several days, but it would have to be dirt cheap. I looked even at airfare to Chicago, as I'd LOVE to go visit Apryl (hey! call me if you read this!!!) but it's a bit steep for me, even though it's less than what I paid this time last year... I looked at Denver too - I've never visited Jess, and that would be nice! - but I think travelling is just to expensive. Airfares to both those cities are really not bad, but I must press on in the support-raising business and save toward Mexico! I know I will leave as soon as God finishes some stuff with me!
