More Family Visits

Sunday was a great day at Fort Des Moines Open Bible Church.  We saw some long-time friends and shared with the congregation what God is doing in Hungary and talked about our new assignment in Romania.  We consider Fort one of our home churches since we attended there eleven years ago as we prepared to go to the mission field. Even though we have visited a few times since we left for Hungary, we wondered at how grown up the children are we knew when we attended there. What a loving, supportive congregation!

Last Friday, we drove to Mount Pleasant, Iowa, to visit Mike's brother Dale and his family for the evening.  Dale's two daughters, their husbands and Dale and Diana's four grandchildren were also there for supper.  We met the two youngest boys for the first time.  It happened that little Andrew's birthday was coming up and so the delicious dinner was topped by birthday cake for the 2-year-old.  We are taking in all the events we can while we are still in the US.  God is good to us.

Grandma Diana shows Andrew his birthday cake while Dad and Grandpa Dale look on.  Mom and Aunt Nancy capture the moment with their phones, of course.
