2018 Road Trip Post 3

Connections can be so fun...both new and old.

Yesterday we enjoyed participating in our first day of Refresh at Houghton College.

After breakfast and morning worship with great music we split up into activities for different ages.

Fritzlin went with the other 1-2nd graders for crafts with Mr. Blew.

Later in the day we chatted with him as  I first met him back in high school as my family would go out to South Dakota on mission trips.

Mr. Blew and family served in Fort Thompson. Great memories.

Anna chatted with a young lady working to peal paint off a big rock on the Houghton College campus only to discover that her missionary friend in Australia is a first cousin. So a selfie and message was

 sent across the world.

Cory and I split up for interesting morning sessions.
Talking to Pastor Paul between sessions about Anna starting college we discovered that his daughter and son-in-law taught for 3 years at the Christian school in Cameroon, Africa......where Anna's roommate attended!

The positive reports about her roommate-to-be are an encouragment to Anna and us.

We met some new friends and old friends at meals, during time at the pool in the afternoon and fellowship.

Anna sprained her ankle last week running through an obstical course and is on crutches.

But in the pool she could relax some of the achy musles as well as help Fritzlin with his swimming.

He is gaining strength and confidence every time he swims.

At the end when the pool was less crowded Fritzlin enjoyed jumping off the low diving board.

At the evening worship we were introduced and given a few minutes to talk about Haiti. This morning at 10 a.m. we shared about our ministry in Haiti and the new AMP team.
