We’ve spent the past two weeks in Spartanburg at Cleveland Park Bible Church. We enjoyed our time in their missionary cottage – this is where we lived during our deputation, 10 years ago. We were able to get together with several of the families from the church: Wilburs, Casillas, Tatems, Karpiks, Bastains, Williams, Dodds, Mr. Cunningham, Johnsons, and Mrs. Burch. It was really fun to catch up with people we’ve known for years and get to meet some new families. Josh presented our ministry the first Sunday we were at the lunch, and I spoke at a ladies luncheon the next Saturday.

The house was close to Cleveland Park, and we enjoyed spending several afternoons at the park. My sister came out to visit one day and taught the kids all sorts of embroidery/knitting/crocheting projects. Ezra designed and embroidered his project.
