The Anatomy of a Trip - Part Two

So, we arrived in Ohio on a Monday evening just in time to go by the Motor Vehicle Department to renew our expired driver's licenses. From there we met up with the whole family for supper at Peggy's parents house. I spent the next few days helping with automotive repairs and visiting my parents while Peggy occupied herself with wedding preparations.

Thursday I had the privilege of preaching at Cozaddale Baptist Temple, Friday we had the rehearsal supper, Saturday the wedding and on Sunday morning we were with a supporting church in southern Ohio and on Sunday evening with another in central Ohio. On Monday I was in the dentist chair and on Tuesday on the plane returning to Mexico while the family stayed in Ohio to spend time with the rest of the family.

Here in Mexico I made good use of my "alone" time and began a campaign to sow the seed that I mentioned earlier. It is amazing how quickly time flies when one is occupied and soon enough (three weeks later) it was time to return by plane to Ohio to pick up the family.



The Anatomy of a Trip - Part One

Our oldest son Simon recently made his trip down the altar and we made a trip back to Ohio to be part of his big day. Over the next few weeks I will update our travels to and back from Ohio and fill in the details of our travels as well as what was happening here in Magdalena at that time.

In order to give Peggy and the girls time to prepare for Simon's wedding as well as an extended stay in Ohio to visit with Sarah, Izabell and Ezra as well as other family and our church, we loaded the Toyota for the event and headed north and east.


On our way back to Ohio we were blessed to stop and visit with the Albrecht Family who have been close friends since our Bullhead City days together. They are members of one of our supporting churches, Mt. Zion Baptist Church and Pastor Thomas Smith. A dear former missionary in that church, Barb Walker, graciously extended to us the use of her cabin for our few days stay.

Our stay in the St. Clair area was a great respite from the stress of living here in "drug alley" as well a refreshing stay in the middle of our travels to Ohio. Thank you Pastor Smith and the Mt. Zion Baptist Church, thank you Albrecht family, and thank you Sister Barb Walker.


Just by looking at these "cabin" pictures you will know that we were experiencing a little bit of "heaven" on earth!
