This past Friday night we had another 40+ people in our house, most of them young people, to say goodbye, or at least “hasta luego” to Victor Monterroso. After a cancelled flight from Mexico to Houston causing him to miss a connecting flight, he finally arrived back home in Boston around 2 a.m. this morning.<\/p>\n

Victor has threatened to return next summer to learn more Spanish words (like morro, chale, dar lata<\/em>, etc…) and continue with many of the relationships he started this summer. Next for Victor…on the Germany for a study abroad program. Although he may not of formally studied in Mexico, he certainly learned a lot! <\/p>\n

I guess I’ll tell this story one more time…Victor was one street away from the finish line working as a volunteer for the Boston marathon when the two bombs exploded. He felt the blast and saw the smoke. Victor was able to contribute in several significant ways here, including teaching a Bible study on Philemon. He will be missed!<\/p>\n

David’s repertoire of craziness continues to morph, lately it’s a crazy face he makes. The last picture, well, doesn’t need much explaining! <\/p>\n

Quote of the Day:<\/strong> A friend of mine gave me a watch I still wear. One hand says Remember<\/em>, and the other hand says You will die<\/em>. Every time somebody asks me, \u201cWhat time is it?\u201d I look at this watch. Every time I look at my wrist, what I see is, \u201cRemember you will die.\u201d A friend<\/em> gave me this watch. Not a good friend really \u2026 but it helps me remember.
Ortberg, John Who Is This Man?: The Unpredictable Impact of the Inescapable Jesus<\/em> (p. 25). <\/p>\n
