Airport Trivia

No doubt about it, I had way too much time on my hands. But by being the type of guy that I am, sketching out a map of Mexico City’s Benito Juárez International Airport seemed like a good idea. And why not? It could save a trip to the airport, provide confidence for those who want to go it alone, help other missionaries who find part of their lives spent there. Out of that came a little fun and hopefully a bit of useful information to boot.

Of far greater significance was the baptism we attended last Sunday with our church. Seven individuals took the plunge to say to the watching world, “I BELONG TO JESUS CHRIST THE LORD OF GLORY”. Following the baptisms there was a dinner where anyone who got too near the pool took a swim. Who were the main culprits of these "little pushes"? The pastor’s family!
