A Wonderful Time

We are in the middle of a very action packed, two week tour, and I must say that we have been having a wonderful time. I have tons of pictures, but most of them will have to wait until we get home this coming Friday (this is the first that we have had internet service since we left). For now, here is a little glimpse of what has been happening.

We left last Saturday, and on our way up to a camp in Michigan we stopped at Cracker Barrel and Cabelas. That was the first time that Missy had been to a Cracker Barrel, and we both enjoyed the food and the store. We didn't know that we would be going by Cabelas until we got to it, but of course I had to stop.

The Wesleyan Holiness Camp in Remus, Michigan was outstanding. God came in our missionary service, and a number of the people closed with a good time of prayer asking God to help them develop more of a passion for missions. The people at the camp were the friendliest that you can find anywhere. We were planning on leaving on Monday, but we ended up staying an extra day because we enjoyed the services and the fellowship so much.

On our drive to our next service location on Tuesday we came across a huge petting zoo which Devin absolutely loved. We stayed from Tuesday until Friday at an empty parsonage in OH, and had a nice little break. One of the church families gave us some money after the Wednesday night service and told us to do something special as a family. So on Thursday we went to a zoo, and again we absolutely loved it. On Friday we drove to Port Huron, MI to stay with my cousin and his wife. Yesterday they took us to watch some boat races on the St. Claire River, and again we absolutely loved it. Last night I went paintballing for the first time, and I absolutely loved it (getting the picture?). This morning we enjoyed a good service, after which we enjoyed a delicious lunch. In a little while we will be heading to Br. Rick Maloyed's church.

This has just been a brief sketch of our activities, but it will have to do for now. I promise that I will share more pictures ASAP.

Sis. Betty Derscheid was the district missionary president for the camp in Michigan. She has such a heart for missions, and went out of her way to make our stay at the camp both enjoyable and encouraging. Thank you, Sis. Derscheid.

In closing, I love this picture which I took at the Michigan camp. Missy didn't know that I had taken it until the next morning.
