The butterfly display we carry with us always attracts much attention.... The blue morpho butterfly is especially eye-catching!
We left on the 4th for Charlotte, NC. We were truly blessed and overwhelmed by the generosity of the church there. We enjoyed southern hospitality at its best with lunch at the Cheesecake Factory, and some shopping for both of us as a gift from the church. We had several opportunities to speak and saw some friends that had attended our home church in South Bend a few years ago.
From NC we drove to Chesapeake to spend a couple of days with Bob, Janelle, Olivia, Dan, Sara, and Peter. Peter took some of his first steps while we were there! Olivia tried solid foods for the first time. This will make future visits a hard act to follow. Every one there is doing well. Dan has begun a new year of teaching and is continuing with his seminary studies.
On the 13th we drove to Greenville, SC to spend a day and a half with my brother Dave. Patti has been in Virginia helping her mother. We also saw Andrew. We tried to find Tim but he was out and about and we missed him. We had a great time talking with Dave.
On Saturday morning, the 15th, we drove down to Agusta, GA. No we didn't play any golf! We presented the Brazil ministry in the services on Sunday and Jim also got to take part in an ordination council for another missionary while we were there. The Lord has truly blessed. We drove back home yesterday and will catch up with things in Michigan until we leave to head out to Wyoming and Colorado in about two weeks.
May I ask you to pray that these pastors would remember to pray about taking on our support? Out of sight can be out of mind, and we need them to remember us!
