Day 28 Rockwood, ON - Holland, MI

414 Miles
Total Miles 5,224

We overslept our 6am alarm and waking up at 6:30am and we were still able to leave on time or there abouts. We said good bye to our wonderful friends, Doug and Lori and drove directly to Waterloo to meet with Arnold and Greta Wry. Arnold was waiting for us out in the parking lot of his apartment complex and ushered up to his 2nd floor apartment.

We had a lovely chat with both of the Wrys. They served and ministered in Bolivia with GMU back in the day, and returned to Canada back 30 years ago. He reminded us that yesterday he turned 92 years young. He and his wife have celebrated 72 years of marriage. Greta informed us that their children have their names in for area nursing homes, but nothing has become available yet. Lori sent me some homemade cinnamon rolls for us to share with the Wrys.

Our visit was quite short than I had wanted, but this stop was a last minute meeting, but so glad that Arnold could allow us to visit with them. As we were getting ready to leave, in the short 40 minutes, Arnold said “You can’t leave until you pray!” Wow, what a humble and godly man. I noticed on their refrigerator door was covered with missionary prayer cards. Even Phil O’Day’s card was on the refrigerator door.

We hurriedly approach the hi-way so we could drive on to Port Huron and onto Rochester Hills, MI to have lunch with Cheryl Eberline and the Ciluffos. Once we arrived at the BlueWater Bridge, it took over 25minutes to get through the Canadian customs and then another 25minutes to be admitted back into the states.

We arrived at Ram’s Horn Restaurant at 1pm. We had an enjoyable lunch conversation with Cheryl and with Joe Ciluffo. Jeannie wasn’t feeling up to lunch. We talked about old times, especially when Glenn worked at the CAM Center in Dallas back in 2001-2006.

After lunch, we headed on to Holland Michigan where we are staying with A Candle in the Window family. We stopped off at Aldi’s to get some picnic supplies for dinner.

A fun day. A long day. A good day. Czytaj więcej
