A great day in Athens!

We would like to express our heartfelt thanks and gratitude to Shane and Lorna Baker and Athens Christian Church. We have been friends with Shane and Lorna since Shane was a Youth Pastor at Bettendorf Christian Church. Shortly before we moved to Lincoln, Shane and Lorna moved to Athens, IL which is only 20 minutes from Lincoln! Because of our friendship with the Bakers, Jon was able to preach at the Sunday night service at Athens Christian Church. We also set up a table filled with brochures, magnets and newsletters giving people more information about our family and our mission. We were astounded by how many people already knew about us! Everyone was so friendly and welcoming, and we really felt at home and loved. And a special "THANK YOU!!!" goes out to Shane and Lorna who made this opportunity possible. We had a great time hanging out with you guys and playing Wii Rock Band! We hope that we will be able to get together again before we leave, but until then we will continue to thank God for your kindness, hospitality and friendship.
