Jour 4
Birmingham, Alabama
15 octobre 2022, États Unis ⋅ ⛅ 61 °F
We left before 7:15 to get an early start. We stopped by a garage sale and purchased 2 bar stools and a small bike.

We arrived at Dean and Linda just in time for lunch and an afternoon of stamping and watching the Alabama vs Tennessee football game.

Then we met up with Larry and Jayme Hower at Season’s52 for dinner. Wonderful evening with us 3 couples. We talked about the 50+ years they lived in Honduras, Mexico, Canada and now back in the US. And we talked about old times with Dean and Linda and us in Bolivia back in the 1980’s. And how we joined CAM at the same time.

The food was good. The conversation was deep and meaningful. And we enjoyed getting to know the Howers better and appreciate our life long friendship with the Selfs.

Also we did a letterbox on our way to the Selfs. It was at the Alabama rest stop

We saw Josh and Jordan.En savoir plus

Visits in Georgia

We had a great visit with Gene and Martha P. in their home in Ga followed by delicious lunch in Warner Robbins. We talked about their years of ministry in San Jose Costa Rica, what ministry looked like now, their health, kids, grandkids and a little politics.

It was good to catch up with them. We continued on our journey towards Jefferson, Ga where we stayed with a new family with “A Candle in the Window”. Lauren and Tom have a high school son who is gifted in music. He gave us a mini concert down in their basement. For dinner we had great conversations about how the Lord was working in each of our lives.

As we were driving in the afternoon, we listened to Martha Binion’s memorial service.En savoir plus
