Visit with friends

We were blessed this weekend to have some "old" friends for a visit. Chris and Karl were our SS teachers when we were in Columbus before we got married. They were great friends and mentors to us. God called them to serve overseas and they excitely followed Him. They are in Ameria for a short time before they move to a new place of service. We have kept in touch with them these past 6 years and rejoiced with their praises and prayed for them in their tough times. We were so excited to hear that they would be passing through NC and would be able to stay with us for a night.

So, last night we enjoyed catching up with them and hearing about what God has been doing through them and where God is taking them. It was so refreshing to see a Godly couple who fits so well together and reflects God's love to each other and others. What a blessing for us!
We look forward to continuing our friendship and following them on their next journey.

Chris and Karl, thanks for allowing us the priviledge and pleasure of having you as guests this weekend!


And, thanks for bring "Ranger Coffee" from Larry to us!

More Lake Time

Our friends, the Thompsons, graciously allowed us to go wakeboarding/skiing with them on Sunday afternoon. What a beautiful day for it with temps in the mid 90s! Where else would you want to be on a hot day like that?

Mike had a few awesome runs on the wakeboard including some great jumps! I got in a couple of ski runs but almost lost my contact in the process. Thankfully, I grabbed it just in time and ended up skiing with it in my mouth for a little while. (P.S. Skiiing with only being able to see out of one eye isn't easy!) I didn't last too long after that but was glad that I got to get back out in the water and try a couple of new things on the skis!
