Returning to Texas we were reunited with Steph, and continued doing sevices in Texas, Oklahoma, and 2 prison sevices in Kansas. What a blessing it is having friends along the way! Thank you for your wonderful hospitality, Steve & Evelyn Miller!
had a wonderful time playing hymns with Patricia, Clarissa, and Winston Miller!
after the service in Yoder, Kansas...
then we headed to Milford, Nebraska for a widows banquet on Saturday
We celebrated Tyrell's 11th birthday in Illinois :)
Tyrell picked Culvers as his special birthday meal place...
enjoyed some "off time" golfing :) lets just say some of the pros stood and laughed at us as we hit the grass innumerable times before we actually got the ball anywhere!
we planned to make cake pops instead of a birthday cake, but being on the road and all, we didn't have everything we needed for it. We ended up making them with pancake mix!
During the next couple weeks we traveled around the country, meeting new friends and seemed to always find someone who knew a friend of ours...conections everywhere! (it's called the mennonite game:) End of April, we had a service in PA...and Steph beign Steph, persuaded dad to drive 7 hours through the night, so she could surprise her fiance at 6:30 in the morning!
We enjoyed getting ready for Steph's last bridal shower with Josh's sisters and mom:) and Tania was especially excited to bake and decorate the cake!
Mom was asked to make some dishes that we had alot during Steph's growing up years. So we decided to make something French, crepes, Russian, portzelky, German, veraneki, and Mexican, beef dip.
Tania, along with Josh's sisters, Gemma and Megan, made 8 fruit pizzas!
Lonita and Brittany helping Steph open he gifts...
we will miss Steph singing with us
the apple skit is always a favorite
Thank you all for praying! It's been a long journey but God's been faithful! Praise the Lord!
Looks like you guys are really enjoying your time in the states!
