We are in Wyoming!!
Craig shares his glasses with CalebWe have really enjoyed our time in the Wyoming area so far. Craig preached in Cheyenne on August 5. It was good to see my home congregation again. We drove to Lander, WY for church on August 12. The Lander Church of Christ has been incredibly supportive of our work in PNG. It was such an encouragement to meet our wonderful supporters face to face again. Since we were just within a few hours drive to Yellowstone from Lander, we decided to make the trek up there for a short visit. I grew up in Wyoming and had never been. It was Craig's first time as well. My parents and two younger sisters joined us for the adventure. We made a whirlwind 2 1/2 day trip to the Tetons and Yellowstone. It was so beautiful. But we were exhausted from driving over 1200 miles in just a few days. When we went to leave Yellowstone, we found out that the exit we needed to take was closed due to a forest fire. That forced us to take another exit out of the park, which added an extra 4 hours of driving. We were thankful for the things we saw that we would have missed had we taken the shorter route though! Hannah loved finding buffalo at the park, especially. She and Caleb were excellent travelers, thankfully! (Speaking of Caleb, it is so hard to believe that he is almost one month old already. In his short life he has been to Ontario (Canada!), New York, Maryland, Colorado, Wyoming, Idaho, and Montana.)
Following our trip to Yellowstone we headed to Colorado Springs where my twin sister lives. My siblings and Grandpa were able to make it for a couple of days together. Craig preached on Aug. 19 in Colorado Springs to a warm and welcoming congregation. We are now staying with my sister for a few days before we head back to Cheyenne to stay with my parents again. We will visit a church in Nebraska in a couple of weeks. Things are busy, but we feel very blessed by our time here. We will be on our way to Houston in about 2 weeks. We are looking forward to seeing our church family there.
