Travelling to Minot, ND

One thing about missionary life is that we travel a lot, especially when we're in the USA, and have churches to see and share with. Our kids don't always like travelling to new places to speak. However, the benefit of this travelling is that we have friends everywhere. So this time we left Lansing, Michgan for Minot, North Dakota. (It is a fairly long way.)


Anyway, here are a few pics of friends we got to see on the way, and some fun we were able to have on the trip as well. God has given us beautiful weather, and clear roads. We arrived in Minot about an hour ago. :D

The Everett Family in Fargo, ND.

(Greg is a long time friend of Tom, grew up in the same church since 2nd grade.) He has been a youth pastor, and a pastor, and now is heading up the YFC chapter in the Fargo area. We wish Godspeed to him and his family as they start to dive in to this new ministry.

So today on the way to Minot we made a discovery! North Dakota has snow! You may have already known that. But we found this big drift on the side of the road, and felt compelled to stop the car, and climb it.

I decided it was warm and took my shirt off. Not to surprise you, but our african brothers and sisters will read the blog, and will LOL forte! at my pic. Of course, I'm never cold in Africa, (you probably would not be either at 44 degrees celsius.) But they think I can never get cold. So I guess I'm perpetuating a myth with this picture.

Anyway, when you get the chance to stop along the road, renew friendships, and then share the good news of Jesus Christ and how he has worked in your life... this whole travelling thing is a privelege, not a chore.

We look forward to coming near you someday soon!

Thanks for stopping by
