Our good freinds!

Our very special friends from Canada came down this weekend. It was so nice to have them come and see us. It's an 8 hours drive and with gas prices that a huge sacrifice!

We met Gene in YWAM in 1984. That's a long time to stay in touch with friends. They have watched all our children grow up, stuck with us through the ups and downs of life. They don't just like us when our children are "so well behaved" or when we are "walking in the spirit" But they are like family, brother and sister in Christ that just love us, period. Not many friends in life like this.

Feeding the crew and nice taco dinner with shredded beef.We started our visit with our Sherry's family in Bonners. Sherry's family of 13, Gene's family of 10, Martha 5 and our 6. We made a good crowd.

Today we hung out and had a great time of devotions. Gene read about King M. (I can't remember his name) He was an awful King, ended up in such a bad way, he cried out to God and God gave him another chance. Neat story. There is hope when you read this. God is so merciful.

We ran out to the Farm to Market store and Orpha loaded us up with the rejects (rejects, are things she can't sell, but still good). Brought back memories.

Sunday we all went down to Kalispell, went to Martha's church, and then out to eat at Applebees. there was 31 of us at dinner and Miriam was our waitress. that was fun to see her work. she is really good at her job.

Enjoyed the rest of the evening at Moriah's.
Another busy weekend, but very worth while.
