Friends in town

We were spoiled recently with friends coming to visit.  We had an amazing time, were encouraged and challenged greatly.  We spent a lot of time in the car...a lot.  But were able to do things that were firsts for all of us.  Thanks for taking time to come!  We love you!

No better medicine for jet lag than some time in the sun!

The fruit is so good this time of year.  We couldn't get enough on our trip.

Spent half the day at this market.

We enjoyed lots of great food.

Simply delicious.

Isaac was dripping honey everywhere so Uncle Rob volunteered to help.

Ephesus is amazing.

The kids don't share our love for Ephesus so they went to swim with friends who happened to be on vacation down the street from our hotel.  God spoils us! 

Day of Encouragement

Today we are overwhelmed.  Overwhelmed with love, support, prayers and encouragement.
Bruce had the opportunity to preach at Mooringsport Baptist Church, where he grew up, this morning.  We were able to share about the adventure we are on and ask them to join with us.  Their support was evident and they took time after the service to pray for us one by one.  It was such a special time.
That afternoon we were visited by friends from New Orleans that were passing through Shreveport on a road trip.  These friends are extra special because they have been where we are headed.  Lillian, after she awoke from her dead sleep, was excited to see old friends and they played and played.  MAB and I hung out and had girl talk in the living room while her man and my man had coffee in the kitchen.  We had a time of prayer before they left and truly felt renewed and refreshed.
