Butter: Hay Muchas Cosas!
http://jonnysmall.blogspot.com/2008/07/hay-muchas-cosas.html
Paid off dirty cops.check. Hidden money in my underwear to avoid paying off dirty cops.check. We have officially reached our furthest point south and will begin making our way to the north in a day or two. We will be taking a route much further inland and seeing some Mayan ruins. We have been 5,500 miles to this point, and been gone for 20 days. That's 275 miles a day. That's chaos. One of the things I have been able to reflect on is. What does a ministry in this area look like in the future?

Butter: San Diego Update
http://jonnysmall.blogspot.com/2008/06/san-diego-update.html
Arrived in San Diego with relatively few problems. Actually no problems. We did however get rear-ended. We also witnessed an armed robbery. All that aside, we have started this trip with many adventures. Uh, are you going to pay for this out of pocket". More driving today and more surprises. not in the landscape. It's flatter than eastern Oregon down here. We did however receive the gift of ELK. I love elk. They appeared about 100 feet from the road. Two large bulls and two cows. 10:49 PM, June 30, 2008.

Butter: "The Trip"
http://jonnysmall.blogspot.com/2008/06/trip.html
A 6 week journey through Mexico and Central America. Surfing, Mayan ruins, fine cuisine, and adventure. Doing board repairs, surfing with locals, making some new friends, giving away a few surfboards, handing out a few Spanish Bibles. J Small, Tim Rousse (childhood friend and MacGyver), Jason Terwee (pick up in Costa Rica). 92 Nissan hardbody extended cab 3.0 l V6 5 speed manual 4 x 4. Made it, a little over 7 hours and about $80 in gas. Not bad. Tims best guess is this.Despite the truck having 167,0...

Butter: Surfing the web
http://jonnysmall.blogspot.com/2008/06/surfing-web.html
I was surfing the web today, "researching" surf spots in Central America and ran across this beauty. When I started planning for the trip, I thought the surf in Mexico and Central America was going to be weaker, considering the season. Apparently we are going to be there for the peak surfing season. Hopefully the surf isn't too large! If it looks anything like this undated photo of Sunzal, El Salvador, this trip will be epic! Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). View my complete profile.

Butter: TRUCK
http://jonnysmall.blogspot.com/2008/06/truck.html
A few pics from the trip to Idaho. This is my favorite: Tim just discovered that the original spark plugs are in the truck. Yes, that's 167,000 miles on the same 6. We rushed to Napa immediately to pick up another set of the same kind! Truck Rack - primed.time to paint. We got a problem. Hey, what is that white little number sticking out of the garage in photo #1? 1:11 PM, June 13, 2008. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). View my complete profile.

Butter: w t f ???
http://jonnysmall.blogspot.com/2008/06/w-t-f.html
What's the deal with us? We still burn coal to generate electricity? We still have coal miners? We imploded the Trojan Nuclear Power Plant? I just don't get it anymore. I remember driving through South Africa. Every 40 miles or so (64km) there were strings of 3 or 4 nuclear reactors with huge steam towers. I'm not talking about 1 here, and 1 way over yonder. I'm talking about 3 to 4 towers right next to each other.like matches in a matchbook.like asparagus in a rubber band. Being imploded. W T H?

Butter: Arrival in South Africa - Pretoria
http://jonnysmall.blogspot.com/2007/07/arrival-in-south-africa-pretoria.html
Arrival in South Africa - Pretoria. After more than 24 hours of travel, we've arrived in Pretoria South Africa where we are staying with a local pastor and his family. His wife is in Brazil leading a team of 10 missionaries. Stephanie Brockett. Was on our flight to DC, we snapped a few pictures and wished her a great trip as she is heading to Europe for the next two weeks. Showsetc. They even have these sweet Nintendo. We narrowly missed an opportunity to exchange our direct flight to Joburg. The razor w...

Butter: The bell sounded - school is over!
http://jonnysmall.blogspot.com/2008/06/bell-sounded-school-is-over.html
The bell sounded - school is over! The final bell has sounded. The final card has been dealt. The pencil sharpener has stopped. The lockers are done opening. The late work will not be accepted. The end had come. Oh yes, the end is near. It is clear, so so clear,. The sky that is, and my mind. Clear like glass,. Clear like clear water. Clear like the fluid in your eye. Excuse me if that makes no sense. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). View my complete profile.

Butter: Wonderful Chaos.
http://jonnysmall.blogspot.com/2008/08/wonderful-chaos.html
Those are the two words I choose to wrap up this vacation.hardly a vacation, but we will go ahead and call it one. I sit here in Tigard. Writing this and I cannot help but feel incredibly grateful for the comforts I enjoy, and the freedoms I have. I would encourage you to do the same. It's not till you see how tough it could be, that you really understand what you've got going. You know what I mean? Since last post we have driven 5,500 miles. What was I saying about vacation? The trip north is a mixed ba...
