We are really enjoying our road trip so far! We are feeling blessed by the great people God has put into our lives, and by this time to re-connect with many of them. If you're interested in seeing the pics from our road trip, I'll be updating them on my flickr page when I can. (here's the link: road trip photos)
We drove from Apple Valley on Saturday to Chicago. Spent the night with Steve and Susan, he is a former pastor from our home church who now teaches at seminary. (We enjoyed their puppy, Maggie, too! ) We visited their church in Chicago on Sunday morning, and then had a great afternoon in sunshiny Chicago seeing a few of the sights. I went with Dave and Jacob on the Navy Pier ferris wheel, despite my fear of rides and heights it was a gorgeous view.
We spent Sunday evening and Monday morning with Mike and Lane and their kids. What a fun family! We haven't seen them for almost 20 years! He is a family counselor After breakfast we set off for the home of one of our Liberian sons, Doco, and spent the afternoon and evening with him, his wife Alison and their darling baby Kiara. That was another special reunion.
Yesterday we drove more than ten hours. We had lunch in Columbus, Ohio, with our Tanquist connections. We work with Mark Tanquist, and my brother is married to Martha Tanquist, so somehow we are all related! Mark and Martha's sister and her husband fed us a wonderful Mediterranean meal. Yumm!
We drove until 8:30 last night where we spent the night with the Carter family in Pennsylvania. Many of you prayed for the Carter girls when they had their cerebral malaria, and we are happy to report that they are in great health and look beautiful.
Please pray for Joey who is having a great time in Northern Ireland, but has injured his wrist. He doesn't have good internet access so we haven't heard an update but we are praying for it to heal quickly!
