First Stop

Mom and Dad have the opportunity to be back in America for a 6 month break. During this break, in addition to many fun family get togethers, they have meetings with their sending organization as well as speaking engagements with churches. Our house was close to their first speaking event and to Richmond which is where they had to go for their meetings.

On Friday, we enjoyed a home-cooked meal with ribs, fresh peas, sweet potatoes and corn bread. And for dessert, we took them to one of our favorite places, Yogurt Mountain.

Saturday began with a breakfast trip to Big Eds.

Then, we headed over to the NC Museum of History. Mike and I visited it sometime last year but didn't have a chance to be there long. The exhibits change periodically and this time we saw items from the NC Sports Hall of Fame, a military exhibit, and a wood working/cabinetry exhibit.

After resting for a little while...and realizing our air conditioning wasn't working and checking on that...we enjoyed dinner at another little favorite place of ours called.



We FILLED ourselves with Italian food at its finest! And then had more desserts than we could count! Needless to say, we left with a few bags of leftovers which we enjoyed for a few days afterwards.

On Sunday we went with them to Pine Ridge Baptist Church in Zebulon, NC. Mom and Dad shared a little about Guatemala and what they have been doing in Guatemala. They also shared with the church how they could be involved as well. Many people expressed how much they enjoyed Mom and Dad's talk and that it was one of the BEST missionary visits ever!

An added bonus of speaking at this church was that Mom and Dad got to be with a family from their church in Augusta that they knew before moving to Guatemala.

For some strange reason, we didn't take a lot of pictures of us together. I guess visiting together after not seeing each other since before Christmas does that! :) They are heading back to our house now and will spend this weekend with us too. I'm sure we'll manage to find some picture taking time this weekend! Check back later for pictures from this weekend.
