Kansas

by Alesha

Well, here we sit, enjoying a quiet evening at home...in Kansas! (O.K., it's not really OUR house; we're just borrowing it for the week.) One of my dear friends from Texas Tech is getting married, Lord willing, this coming Saturday in Oklahoma. (Congratulations, Kristin! :) Since Taylor has friends that he works with in Kansas, we decided to come up to see them before the wedding. Understand, now, that when you do all of your work communication without any actual face to face contact, these were all "friends" that we had never met in person! What we found when we got here was a sweet outpouring of the kind of Christian hospitality and friendship that we have each been called to. We were able to join with the Mennonite community our friends are a part of in celebrating common faith in a common Savior, though dress and doctrine may differ. The hymn sing was AWESOME! The house we are staying in belongs to some coworkers, who are currently serving the Lord in overseas. In their absence, they have set up their home as a resting spot for those who need it. We have really enjoyed it as a gift from God and from them. Thank you!
