Friendships Renewed

A couple of weeks ago, while Jim was in Minnesota, I had the blessing of a visit from some dear friends from Cameroon. We have known Blaise (in back) and his sister Carole (far right) since they were young adults in college. Now they are both married and have families of their own!
Blaise spoke at our church on the Sunday that Jim was back in the Midwest. He is presently studying for his doctorate in theology here in the States, with the intention of going back to Cameroon to help in church ministry there.
I had not seen my friend Carole for 13 years! She is now a mother of two (the baby in the pictures is her youngest) and works as a flight attendant, so is able to travel all over the world.
What a blessing to have our friends come to us when we can't go to visit them!

It was fun to see pictures of Blaise and his family. We had supper with him while we were at the annual convention this summer and enjoyed our visit very much!
