A Good Start to the Racing Season...

Garrett had a good start to the racing season. He has committed to race and train this year for only mountain biking. We had our some what of our official race. He did great and everyone is saying that he has promise. If we can just keep his head deflated we will doing good. He finished third in his division. The guy the placed first comes from a family of racers and has been racing all his life. He will be the one that Garrett will mark for most of the season. The race was extremely muddy. My goal was just to finish safely. The day before the race Garrett and I was able to ride some of the course to familiarize ourselves with some technical parts. It started raining the minute we left with the guy that was going to show us around. It continue to rain all night. The after pictures really doesn't do us justice on how muddy the course was. All in all it was a good time for Garrett. It helps break up some of the schooling and cultural things that we deal with on a daily basis. God has been so good to us. I pray each day that Garrett and Cora will see God's grace in their lives. I'm thankful we have family and friends that help support us on the field. Not just financially but with all the Easter cards we received. The care packages that were sent with the "peeps". Also the special package of English muffins and Velveeta. Something that you will not find down here.
