From Sea to Shining Sea

From Sea to Shining Sea

Two weeks. Four time zones. Six churches. Nine states. Over 8,000-feet elevation change. And more than 3,700 miles. That’s what we’ve covered in the last two weeks. We’ve literally been coast to coast, and I admit, our bodies are starting to feel it. The toll that elevation and climate changes have on the body is unmistakable, but through it all, God has kept us healthy. There have been a few headaches and some sinus struggles but nothing serious, and for that, we are extremely grateful.

Our time in Texas was fruitful. We had the opportunity to share our burden in three churches. We met up with some dear friends from another church in the Dallas area and had dinner one evening. And we even stopped by Buc-ee’s. For those of you who don’t know what that is, it’s a chain of convenience stores in Texas, and like all things Texas, they do it BIG. It’s like a convenience store, souvenir shop, restaurant, craft store, and more all rolled into one. They’re huge! Seriously, though, we had a sweet time at each church we visited and felt so blessed by the welcome we received.

Howdy, Texas!

Howdy, Texas!

It is rare to find me at a loss for words, but that’s exactly how I feel when I try to explain what a wonderful time we had last week at Temple Baptist Church in Texas. We have been in many missions-minded churches, but never have we seen such an outpouring of love and genuine concern for missionaries. We were treated like royalty, showered with gifts, and given many opportunities to share our burden with groups of all ages. It was such a joy to get to know the church members throughout the week, and we feel we’ve made several new life-long friends. We cannot thank the church enough for all they do for their missionaries. They truly go above and beyond, and it’s such a blessing.
