That's Fall In Pagosa

Where to begin. Last week our little sheepdog found the wrong end of the skunk. The even sadder part was she was sprayed just under the window where Laura and Tom were sleeping. Yes, the stench permeated the whole house. We spent the rest of the night in another room with our heads under the covers. Soon after that we chased the skunk off the street using mothballs. Who knew skunks were offended by a bad smell. Another thing learned in Pagosa.

We woke up a few days later to 20 degrees so it was time for the first fire of the season. AHHH, the warmth of Pagosa.

THE COLORS
The colors are amazing! We are humbled to be able to see the vibrant yellows, greens, reds, orange, and golds. We tried to take pictures but they don't do them justice.



Cute Kids! Did I mention TJ is now saying many words. His favorite are MOO (due to all the cows we see) and cattle gaurd. That's growing up in Pagosa.

PUMPKIN TIME
It was off to the pumpkin patch. The kids didn't know what to think of it all, but they soon got into it.

















THE MINISTRY
TJ enjoys the worship and it is fun to see new faces come through the doors. God is bringing new folks to Pagosa Bible Church and we are now having seating issues. It is a good problem to have. We pray to be done with the new building on Thanksgiving. Laura is going to be leading a womens Bible study for young moms which she is looking forward to. Sydney is now a Cubby at Awana and TJ is using his gift of helps at church and at home.

Please continue to pray for our ministry in Pagosa Springs. It is very different than we had expected. Right now it's the beginning of hunting season and many are out trying to find meat to put on the table. It's odd to open your door and hear gun shots from across the lake. Well I guess that's fall in Pagosa. (Sydney took this shot, not bad for a 3 and a half year old.)
