The original plan was to head down to Fabens, TX on Sunday afternoon, but we were too tired to make it all the way. We ended up staying the night at Joyce’s parents in Cuba, NM and left for Fabens at 5am the next morning. We left that early, because we needed to get the rental car full of school supplies returned in El Paso by 11:30am on Monday. We made it there in time and then had lunch with Joan and Elfi. They are the missionaries that oversee Crossing Borders Ministries. We ended up delivering a total of 220 school supply kits from my parent’s church. Later that evening, Joyce and I had a nice steak dinner at Cattleman’s Ranch in Fabens. It was one of the best steaks I’ve ever had.
Tuesday, we stayed and helped with their weekly beans and rice family pack assembly line. Each week they put together enough family packs to feed over 400 families, mostly on the Mexican side of the border. We tried not to slow them down too much. Then, they had a Spanish speaking worship service. It was neat even though I could not understand much. Later that afternoon, we started back to Abilene. We stopped at Joyce’s aunt and uncle’s house in Midland for a couple hours and got home about midnight. All of us, cats included, were all glad to be home.
We have spent some time resting over the last few days and caught up on some house and yard chores. We took the cats to the vet for their annual shots and Lil Bit’s first round. We also got ready for our trip to Branson. We finalized what we would be doing and purchased tickets to some shows and attractions. It should be a fun and relaxing time. We will head out tomorrow morning and spend about a week there.
Clue 3: The answer relates to how tall the man is.
