I remember riding an over-crowded bus in Brazil one time with several missionary companions. I was standing in the crowded aisle, resting my head on my arm, and fell asleep. My buddies kindly woke me up--by shouting at me from the outside of the bus as it pulled away! Took me at least one stop, maybe two, to push my way to the back of the bus and get off. When I caught up with them they were still laughing. So was I. We still laugh about that when we get together. <br />Love, DadWillHogganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01893805305110206351noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5126346339068194737.post-20712304312906382432009-12-07T01:04:28.410-08:002009-12-07T01:04:28.410-08:00I am your #1 fan.
