That is a great way to describe our furlough since our arrival in the States. We are enjoying a wild ride. On May first we arrived in Tennessee. After a graduation (Ben’s), a friend’s wedding (Helen & Jordan), Papaw’s surgery (¡Papaw’s!) and a CMF home office visit we were off to Oregon. In Oregon we visited with Steve’s mom, Lois, attended the family reunion and then the Oregon Christian Convention and visited with six churches. On July 3rd we arrived back in Johnson City, Tennessee and have since then attended one wedding (Spencer & Katie), participated in a second wedding (Carson & Amerrica) and visited with a number of church leaders. We have also been able to attend to a number of personal things.

Coming up, church visit in Kentucky, Furlough Retreat in Indy, church visit in Greeneville, Tn, and a church visit in Ormond Beach, Florida. Pray for safety and wisdom.

Hope to see you on our wild ride!
