Weekend fellowship

As missionaries, we have several churches that we stay in touch with.  These churches are like a part of our family – we think about them often, visit when we can, pray for them.  We’re excited when we hear good news, and pray when we know the church is going through a difficult time.

But every once in a while we go to visit a church and wonder – will anyone really remember us?  Are they praying?  Do they ever look at that letter on their bulletin board?

That’s why it’s such an encouragement to go to a church like Innisfail Baptist Church.  We had such a warm welcome, and great conversation with people who were really interested in Mexico and really concerned for us and the Mexican people.  We had a wonderful visit, even though it was short, renewed some acquaintances, and fellowshiped with some friends at lunch.

We got home in time to eat a sandwich or two (barely!) and then we went to our own church for the Christmas program.  Hannah was a Christmas angel this year.  Then we had some more time to fellowship over some home made goodies that people had brought.

It was a great day, looking back, although as you may imagine by the end of the day we were really ready for a long winter’s nap!

There are some more pictures of Hannah in the Christmas program in our photo album.
