We're grateful that it worked out for us to stop by
and see (Matt's) Gran Lewis on Christmas on our way back to TX.
This is only a small percentage of the people that we saw while travelling over these past few months. Each and every one that we came into contact with was a blessing to us in some way. We appreciate the love we were shown through such kindness, interest in us and the ministry, generosity, and hospitality.
May God bless each of you as you serve Him.
To finish out the trip.....
Here we are trying to get the van out of the mud at
Gran's house Christmas Evening.
The tires were up to the hubs in mud because of the
amount of rain and weight in the van.
We're finally headed home though!
