Tour Days 5 & 6
Yesterday I drove to Plainfield, just outside of Indianapolis to see my friend Nellie and her family. I met her and her husband in Alaska in the fall of 1998. When I knew here then, she was pregnant with their first child. My brother and I stopped by to see her seven years when I was moving from North Carolina to Arizona. At that time she was pregnant with her second child. Now she’s pregnant with her third! Darrell says that I only come around when there’s another kid in the works. ;-) It really is just coincidental!!
I got to hang out with her boys who are now nine and six and a half. They are great little people!! It was very fun to get to know them. Of course, it was good to get to talk with Nellie again as well. Back when we both lived in Kotzebue, she was always my voice of reason. It’s something I’ve appreciated for many years. She’s always been a straight shooter.
Since Darrell is a pilot, I tried to some major recruiting for Flying Mission. It would be so cool to have this family in Africa with us. And I know they would be a grand success. Maybe we can all pray for God to call them there. ;-)
