Ralph
13 februari 2023, Verenigde Staten ⋅ 🌙 48 °F
Meet Ralph. Serve a bucket load of years in Ecuador. He greeted us at the door and promptly set us down and started talking about the good old days. He thoughts were slow and deliberate. Ralph’s wife died several years ago and openly admitted that the last few years had taken a great toll on his health since he was the caregiver of his dementia’s wife. Ralph turned 96 yesterday.

We talked fast, exchanging facts and people we knew from GMU days and our history.

Ralph related stories of being in Ecuador among the head hunters. He also acknowledged God being sovereign but wondered why God allowed his brother to die of cancer at a young age of 36. They were very close.

Soon, his son and his wife dropped by to feed us lunch and again we were exchanging who knew who. We talked about what a wonderful time we’ll all have in heaven meeting up with others.

Ralph is a true servant of God. A precious retired servant of the Lord.Meer informatie

Day 4
17 februari 2023, Verenigde Staten
Today, we had a relaxing morning. Bill fixed waffles. Delicious.

We left around noon time to head towards the Coopers place. Glenn filled the car up with gas.

At the Coopers pavilion we just sat around and talked. Some played Bache -ball. Glenn played pickle ball with Kenny.

We’re at PBI, wondering if we’ll make our connection at DFW.

Summary, we had a relaxing and intense visit with our old SAM missionary friends. We’ve all gone down different paths and appreciate the friendship from the 80.’s and 90’s. We were forever saying “Remember when?” Or “Glenn I remember you meeting us at the airport with tickets” or “Remember getting stuck in the sand?” All in all, Bolivia2023 was G.R.E.A.T.

Looking forward to next year.Meer informatie
