Looks like the Internet Web Site has had some trouble transmitting
from Rome so you may not get this message until back in Paris again (or home!)
The past two days you all made the newspaper here...mostly talking about how
terribly hot and humid it was in Rome. You were there on the hottest weekend of
the year! They raised the estimates of people on the field awiting the Pope to 2
million! We can't even imagine that. Anyway, you will be home soon. Can't wait
to see you. We miss you, "Crabcake"...the flag still flies in your honor at
home! Love, Mom, Dad, James and Parker P.S. The latest gossip...James has been
"going out" with Abbey. He got his driver's license last weekend and has spent
almost every evening at the Martinez home (driving there himself, or course)

WE saw the pictures of youa ll on the Internet Web site. Wow it was
great to see you!!! You look really happy. Got your postcards and your message.
You're ready to get up when we're ready to go to bed so its hard to make phone
calls that connect. Anyway, your brothers miss you as we do and we pray for you
every day. Keep enjoying the experience...the Spirit is a'moving over there.
Keep sending that Spirit back to us...don't forget, angels can carry messages!
Love. Mom and Dad
