Incredible People

We have started the process of saying "goodbye", soaking up our last experiences.  We were able to worship with our friends at Indonesian church in Indianapolis.  One of the most amazing women at that church is our dear friend Hilda.  She is a loving and caring friend.  She is also a godly woman who has demonstrated true sacrifice and service as she has cared for her husband who has Alzheimers.  I love talking to her because she shares about how God has been faithful to her.  She has been determined to care for her husband at home, even when her own body can barely stand it.  God has given her strength and has helped her find an amazing helper.  We are really thankful for our friendship with her.   It was hard to express fully what a great impact her testimony has been to us.

We also spent our last Sunday with one of our church families.  Celebration Church has been a part of our work since our last time overseas.  They have supported us and prayed for us.  While we were in Anderson these two years, we attended there on Sundays.  We have gotten to know the people their personally and they have become a family to us.   Ryan and Niko were baptized there and they prayed for us.  We have been so blessed by their love and encouragement.  They challenge us to grow with the Lord and we are thankful for each and everyone in that congregation.  We  will miss them so much.  

We have two more church visits to make.  On the weekend of June 9th we will be with our supporting church in Glen Burnie, MD.  On the weekend of June 16th we will be with our Madison Park Church of God family.  God has blessed us.  We are so thankful for these churches and they way that they have supported us--financially, emotionally, and spiritually.   What an encouragement as we face our final weeks here!
