We had unexpected guests drop in tonight.

I met Jorge several years ago when he worked for Buck Services
and did the cleaning at Lord of Life Church.

He was a fabulous worker and we've become good friends.
Here's his family...

 Kevin (youngest son), Jorge, Brayan (oldest son)

 This is Isaac, Brayan's son.

Here is Anna (Jorge's esposa), Brayan's wife, and my wife, Jan.

We ran trains and had a great time!
