We were so excited to be able to see this precious couple make their vows, on April 4th, to spend their lives together. \u00a0Timothy was such a great help and good friend and next door neighbor out at the CEFA farm 2013-2014. \u00a0We went through all kinds of challenges together, including lightning strikes and evacuations… \u00a0Jessica is a bubbly, sweet friend we met in Yaounde a couple of years ago. \u00a0We treasure their friendship and pray that their marriage and future are blessed and joy filled!\"blog<\/a><\/p>\n

One of the perks of having driven down to Springfield, MO, for the wedding was to get to spend some time with our buddies, the Turks!<\/p>\n

\"blog<\/p>\n

An MK, (missionary kid), Elaine Smythe, from Zaire\/Congo who is close friends with Jessica’s family, was kind enough, along with her husband, Gary, to host our motley crew.<\/p>\n

\"blog<\/a><\/p>\n

We had great fun catching up with these friends, and swapping stories with our hosts as well. \u00a0One of the games we played – when we’re with the Turks, we always have to have an emergency fun night!!! – was a jellybelly game. \u00a0If you get a chance, DON’T\u00a0play it! \u00a0You might have to eat a black jellybelly, tasting either like licorice or skunk!!! For me, either one is bad!<\/p>\n

\"blog<\/a><\/p>\n

Anyway, well fed with all kinds of treats from Elaine, and very well filled with friend-connection-joy, we headed back to Plymouth on April 5th.
