A great weekend in Fort Wayne, IN

This last weekend, I had the priviledge to meet one of our vendors and his wife in Fort Wayne, In. Mike owns one of the companies that we buy products from, and he is really excited about what Jon and I are going to be doing in Ukraine. He asked us if we wanted to come to Fort Wayne and stay with him and his wife Diane, and speak at his church. Boy are we glad we said, "Yes"!!!

When you go to stay with someone you have never met before, there is always some uncertainty about how you will get along. Will the conversation be strained or forced? Will you feel wierd? Will they like you? Well, this weekend certainly exceeded my expectations. I felt at home immediately. Diane and Mike were warm, and welcoming, and were very gracious hosts. We talked, we joked, we played with the boys. We had a great time getting to know them, and were very sad when we had to leave. It was amazing how quickly I made a connection, especially to Diane, and it was evident that she felt similar when we both started crying while saying our goodbyes. I am so thankful that God allowed our paths to cross, and can only hope that they will cross again soon.

Thank you Mike and Diane (GiGi) for a wonderful weekend!
