We had a great visit yesterday with our friend Joni Autrey and her family in Riudoso. We went to First Baptist Church with her family yesterday morning - it was a great service...very encouraging! It is so awesome to know our dear friend is in such a Holy Spirit filled church! At the end of the service one of the members stood up and gave this word from 1 John:
"How great is the love the Father has lavished on us, that we should be called children of God! And that is what we are! The reason the world does not know us is that it did not know him. Dear friends, now we are children of God, and what we will be has not yet been made known. But we know that when he appears, we shall be like him, for we shall see him as he is. Everyone who has this hope in him purifies himself, just as he is pure." - 1 John 3:1-3

roadside view between Tularosa and Alamagordo
They must like these birds in the southwest (Alamagordo)
There is truth in Alamagordo!
Our faithful mule.
To describe how vast the White Sands are, you could fit the states of Rhode Island and Delaware within them.
It is in the southwest, particularly White Sands, that we discovered Amber's Native American name....... "Half Moon"
Yes, Amber is happy.
roadside view between Alamagordo and Las Cruces.
Sangre de Christo Mountains (Las Cruces is on the other side)
looking back at the Sangre de Christos from the Las Cruces side.
Joni's parents told us about this restaurant in Las Cruces, La Posta, and it was awesome! The building itself is over 200 years old and is known to have been Billy the Kid, Kit Carson and Pancho Villa's old stomping ground...check it out next time you're in Las Cruces! The enchildadas and salsa are fabulous!
Obligatory Pirahna from La Posta..... this is would be why we didn't order fish.
