Pastor John, we are, we're back. And it just took us about 40 minutes to get our

0:09.5

recalculative equipment set up. That's right. I'm so out of practice. I didn't even know how

0:14.7

to set up Skype anymore. It's been a long time. No, not a problem. We are back. And that's the

0:21.3

important thing that APJ listeners are going to want to hear. Things are a little bit different.

0:26.3

We're both in our home studios. My home studio is a little bit different now. I'm in Phoenix.

0:30.9

It's about a thousand miles away. It was an 1800 mile drive. So yeah, we moved here in July,

1:37.2

2019. Tell us about your first Europe trip. How did the book turn out and then give us a little

1:42.6

preview of what's to come for your second Europe trip. When I think about the summer, especially the

1:48.6

completion of the Providence book a few days ago, the answer to the question, how's the summer going,
