Daniel, being the oldest, has benefited most from this.&nbsp; Our latest venture together was to Corban University last October, when we were able to live in a Farrar dorm room.&nbsp; It was quite an experience for both of us&#8230;and Daniel loved the crazy atmosphere of Corban&#8217;s rowdiest dorm!&nbsp; <\/p>\n<p>Cathy had accompanied me on one occasion also, a rather sad trip to be present at the death of my cousin, Ben.&nbsp; Cathy and Ben were great friends, and it was special to have her with me.&nbsp; <\/p>\n<p>But David had never accompanied me&#8230;until my trip to Rio Grande Bible Institute.&nbsp; It was a hectic trip in some ways&#8230;13 hours of driving time up to the Texas border all day Wednesday, then another 13 hours returning on Sunday.&nbsp; Three days in a great conference.&nbsp; Lots of time where David really didn&#8217;t have a whole lot for a 10 year old to do.&nbsp; But he enjoyed riding around in a golf cart with Libby White, and making faces with Fernando Amezcua.<\/p>\n<p>I promised him we&#8217;d do some fishing while in Texas.&nbsp; David doesn&#8217;t forget promises like that!&nbsp; Although we weren&#8217;t able to go fishing with Adam Landrum, dear ol dad managed to find a couple bodies of water closeby, and we went fishing.&nbsp; In a lake in front of the McAllen Convention Center, and in a nearby canal.&nbsp; We didn&#8217;t catch anything&#8230;but at least I had fulfilled my promise!&nbsp; Here are some pictures of David and our trip.&nbsp; It&#8217;s hard to take a normal picture of David&#8230;I&#8217;m sure you&#8217;ll agree!<\/p>\n<div style=\"clear: both; text-align: center;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/mexicomatters.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/01\/P10-01-13_19.03.jpg\" style=\"clear: left;
