Travel Day - El Mirage, Arizona to Texarkana, Arkansas

Our day started early in El Mirage, Arizona. Bro. Jorge and Sis. Mary Stevens took us to the airport in Phoenix for our flight to Dallas. We left about 5:40 AM.

I appreciate them loaning us their truck while we were there and for getting out so early yesterday morning. Bro. Jorge also brought me a Carne Asada Burrito from Humberto's. Yum! What a friend! I hope I can be a friend like that.

We landed in Dallas, loaded up in the Green Machine and headed to Gainesville, Texas and the BoggsMobile. We ate our Thanksgiving meal along the way at IHOP. Not a traditional Thanksgiving meal but quick and pretty good.











The BoggsMobile was in good shape when we arrived. I am always glad to see that. We unloaded the Green Machine and prepared the bus for take off as quick as we could. I think we left by around 3:30.

We did get to visit briefly with Pastor Dennis King and Sis. Judy before we left Gainesville. I appreciate them for allowing us to leave the bus there and keeping an eye on it while we were in Arizona.

We realized we were going to make it to Texarkana before it was too late in the evening so we taxt (Past tense of text instead of the awkward "texted") Bro. Dennis and Sis. Lynn Heath. They met us with their children at Denny's in the Flying J where we parked for the night.

It was so great to see our friends and have a few laughs. It seems like it has been forever since we have seen them and had time to visit.

We had a good snack at Denny's and great fellowship with all of the Heath family. They are super great folks.

I am so glad they were able and willing to take time to meet us on such short notice.

We visited with three sets of friends in Arizona, Texas and Arkansas in about 13 hours. How cool is that?

We hope to make about 500 miles today by God's grace. I better get started.

Revival In Pictures - El Mirage, Arizona

We sure hated to leave all of our friends in Arizona but the time has come for us to move on. The wonderful service Wednesday night capped the revival off perfectly.

May God bless Pastor Noah Martinez and all the great folks at Desert Cove Assembly.

I hope you enjoy the pictures.

One Last Visit to Humberto's



Wednesday for lunch we had one more visit to Humberto's. We made the burrito run and met at the parsonage for a great lunch and hilarious fellowship.

We love Pastor Noah, Sis. Carla, their three boys and all of the Desert Cove Church. We have had a wonderful time with our friends here in El Mirage.

Some of you have recognized the Martinez family from when we have preached for them in Paducah, Kentucky. You are very observant.

Bro. Noah became pastor here in May and they are loving it. Bro. Noah was raised in this area and attended this church when he was a teenager.

This move is a homecoming of sorts for him. The Desert Cove church is blessed to have this great family. I pray God blesses them with many years of fruitful ministry.

We have one more service tonight and then we fly out in the morning. Kelly Jo has been packing today to minimize the work tonight since we need to leave for the airport before 6:30 AM.

We should be in Dallas before noon and back to the BoggsMobile by 1:30. We would like to drive about 200 miles tomorrow evening but we will see how we feel then.

May God bless you tomorrow with a thankful heart as you gather with your families. We are thankful for all that God has been in our lives and the many friends that we enjoy.

God bless you all.
