A story from Papua, a restful day and going home.

Sunday morning we went to our daughter's church.  Dropped Claire off at her class.

Adam and Hannah were on the worship team.

There was a guest speaker this day.  Nate Gordon who is with JAARS, who had served in Papua.  He told us about living in Papua; he is quite the storyteller!  I love hearing how God works in people's lives!!

You can watch the video here.  If you want to hear an amazing story of a woman from Papua, start at about 43 minutes.

He has written a book that I have ordered and am excited to read!

We went out to eat with him and found out that he grew up in the Philippines and had attended Faith Academy in highschool.  I knew about Faith Academy because they played in the Far Eastern Tournament as did the school I attended, Christian Academy in Japan.  CAJ won that tournament the years I attended.  We connected as MKs; there is just a bond there.  

We had a quiet Sunday afternoon.  We napped.  Claire also had down time after her last performance of "Newsies".

Adam and Jill worked on their scheduling for the week.

Papa told some tales - he enjoys telling stories!

Even Kobi listened.

We decided to make S'mores.

(I have a few international friends who read this, so need to explain what a S'more is.  I didn't know until I came to the States.  A S'more is a roasted marshmallow that you put in between 2 graham crackers along with some chocolate.  The chocolate melts.  Oh soooo good!)  I guess they are called S'mores because you want "some more" - one is not enough!

Look at those marshmallows!  I did not know that they make some in a flatter shape so it works better for S'mores.

The next morning, we left for home.  But first, we stopped at the coffee shop Hannah works at and got us some caffeine for the trip!

Good-bye to Wisconsin!

There are some apartments or condos facing this view.  Hmm.  We may need to consider this??

We'll be back again soon!

 P.S.  We took our normal fast route home, but found a different route around Kansas City.  It was rush hour when we would be going through.  Blech!!  We do not care to hit the big city .  So because traffic would be horribly crazy, we turned west on 36 at Cameron and continued until Highway 75 and went south to Topeka.  It skirts Topeka on the north and we took Highway 70 to 77.  We actually liked this route!  May do it again!
