A Day in San Angelo

It was a chilly start to our day in San Angelo! Fall is definitely in the air, and the first hint of color could be seen in the trees lining Pinto Path (where Belinda's mother lives).

The main agenda item today was attending the San Angelo District ministry celebration at the First UMC (in downtown San Angelo). We had a great time visiting and learning and sharing with folks from around the district. We met a very interesting fellow named the Rev. Jose Valasquez, a retired United Methodist pastor who has served for over 40 years! Like most pastors, he continues to serve in a variety of ways; he is an active member of the First UMC of San Angelo.

After the session, we had an enjoyable gathering at the local Red Lobster with the Lester's and Belinda's mother as we celebrated the sixth anniversary of the Lester's daughter Amy and their son-in-law Nic Gray.

(P.S. It was really fun to see the mural on a building in downtown San Angelo featuring images from the life and times of Elmer Kelton.)
