Disclaimer.

I know I don't have any fun new pictures to put up right now (althought I have plenty of them on my camera that I have yet to upload onto the computer) so I'm trying to keep it a little bit interesting by writing in color. :) Anyways, I just wanted to add a little disclaimer note. All of these little books that I was reading in Mexico were indeed from the bookshelves of Andrew and Iris but they were not books that were purchased BY Andrew and Iris (except for the 2: "The Whitch of Blackbird Pond" and "Mrs. Mike"). You see, missionaries that are in other countries, tend to get lots and lots of "stuff" given to them. People just think that since they're in another country being missionaries that they need lots and lots of stuff that we don't need. Sometimes it can be a lot of "junk" or kinda useless to the family but anyways. I read 17 short books while I was there and all but those 2 (that I mentioned above) were given to them. Now, not to say that they were junk- because Karisa obviously enjoyed them- but just to say that Andrew and Iris don't go out and buy them. Andrew mentioned, the other day, that I made it sound like all of their "library" is full of these kind of books due to their choosing. So I just wanted to throw him a line and let you know the truth. :) Okay? And now, you know.

Ah ha, was that from my comments?

You know, I'll be purging my library soon, maybe I should send them some *cough*good*cough* books...

Though all the really good books in my library, like Piper and Tozer, already got eaten up by my church's library or a Bible college in the Philippines...

Uh, but if they're interested, let me know and I'll send a few of 'em over. (probably not too many, cause I'm sure postage on books wouldn't be cheap!)

Glad you made it home well! You know, it's a good thing you gave a warning, because I was seriously almost going to sneak a rodent into your bed... no mouse, even, but a nice big black RAT!! ;p

That sounds just like Andrew. He need not worry, we don't think that he's going soft and reading romance novels or anything. : )
