Sharing Life

While we were on the east coast, Rick spent a week recruiting at Columbia International University for Cadence International. I got to visit Marie, Anna and Mr. E and many others from our Schweinfurt days. It was an eventful week. Here are some of the highlights:

-Time with Marie and Anna. You took wonderful care of us. Thank you.

-Ethan got a miserable ear infection. He would cry in pain when I kissed the side of his face.

-I spent many hours with Suzanne M., some of them in the doctor's office. You are a dear friend.

-Kristen came to visit, along with her sweet boys, Caleb and Joshua.

-The whole group took a trip to the Fayetteville Children's Museum along with Nicole and her kids Celeste, Olivia and Asher. Emma especially loved playing with Celeste.

-I got in a car accident, with the rental car, on a quick trip to the grocery store. It was suppose to be 15 minutes of peace.
-When Rick joined us for the weekend, he had the flu.
-Nate and Lynn came all the way from Philadelphia and we enjoyed every minute with them.

-The Pettibone family came from Columbia for the weekend. What a nice surprise!

-ALL of us spent Sunday morning worshiping together.

-Marie got terribly sick. (so sorry Marie)

Even though I dreamt something very different for our time in Fayetteville (like good health and safe driving:)), I truly enjoyed being with our friends. I cannot tell you how loved and well cared for I felt while I was there. My dear friends, Marie and Suzanne showed me care and grace throughout the week. God has certainly blessed us with a beautiful worldwide community.
