From Missouri, we headed out on April 1st (seriously we did), for Oklahoma City. It was good to see family and reconnect with friends there as well! |
Our friends, the Nichols, stopped by to hear our presentation and see us while we were there! |
The folks at Northwest Church of Christ are some of our favorite people! They are always a tremendous encouragement! We are grateful for such tremendous ministry partners, |
Rocking our Africa wear! Isn't my wife lovely?!? |
Our dear sister Claudia introduced us to this lady from Cameroon who works in OKC! It was such fun to meet her and talk so Pidgin together! |
While the food is great, the roads nice, and the comforts enjoyable, it's the brethren and family in Christ that we have most enjoyed about our trip to the US. |
Mark and his wife Sharon showed us some wonderful Texas-sized hospitality! It was a lovely time down in Austin! |
While in Texas, we had a chance to meet up with Brittney's Aunt Brenda who lives in San Antonio. This was her first time to meet Carys, and the kids really enjoyed it. |
Being on the road and with so many people sharing such wonderful food, we have been trying to hit the gym when we get the chance. The couple that works out together, works out! :D |
Got to meet up with Ryan at Harding. He was the youth minister at Northwest for many years, but taught this year at Harding. Had an encouraging chat over coffee together! |
Some more folks that we met in Arkansas who we'd known elsewhere- the Bassay family! They are studying at Harding, but are from Cameroon. It was a sweet little taste of home. |
From Arkansas, we headed to Tennessee, where we met friends... |
The Risk family were a great encouragement to us! What a blessed couple of days we spent together! |
We also enjoyed seeing the Maher's who serve at Teen Missions International. They helped us to get our paperwork for Cameroon several years ago. We appreciate their heart for missions. |
Another cool stop along the way was seeing Beth Barrow in Georgia. Brittney used to do Bible studies with her many years ago when she was a volunteer in Ghana. We got to try some gator tail with her! |
Equally encouraging and as important to my development, my Grandparents Broyles were a highlight of our trip. Grandma's cooking is the real deal! We really felt at home with them. |
We had a berry good time with Grandma and Grandpa Broyles! |
It was good to also see Jackson, my brother-in-law, again. He is a student at Mid-Atlantic Christian University. As a side note, you can tell Grandma was feeding me good... :D |
Their ain't no cookout like a Broyles' family cookout! Great times with family! |
We were privileged to present at Woodland Hills in Virginia where are family are. It was an encouraging time sharing with them about the work and our lives in Cameroon. |
