~Our Mission Services in Missouri~

Thank you for all your prayers for our family as we have been traveling.  God has given us a safe journey so far.  We are now in Phoenix, AZ, with my dear in-laws, and now I can post the pics from our Mission services to Missouri.

 ~On the way to Ava, MO we saw a SAD fire and the firetrucks blocked our way. 
Thankfully, it looked like it was an antique store, so hopefully no one got hurt.  Tho it is sad about the ANTIQUES someone could have enjoyed. :-( ~

Here's Abigail hugging Mrs. Miller.~
