FRIENDS ALL THE WAY FROM ASIA

So, if you've been reading here for quite a while, you might recall our trip to South East Asia back in April of 2012.  It was an amazing time that we got to spend with some very special people - the Benno family.  They've been in the States for a while - though they head back next week, and they were gracious enough to pay us a visit, which was such a treat!

They drove straight in to meet us at CFA for lunch.  Showing them our world after seeing all of their's was so fun.  John gave them all a Backstage Tour.

They then took a ride around the parking lot in our cow car, which thrilled the children and certain adults.



We wanted to give them a taste of some of our favorite things in Little Rock, so we hit Flying Fish for dinner and then walked around by the river.



Tuesday morning brought sweet back scratching from the kiddos.  They rotated themselves after counting to 30.



We did a massive breakfast of cinnamon rolls, eggs with goat cheese, bacon, and fruit salad.  I would be about a million pounds if all breakfasts were that good.  Then, we did a picnic lunch at Pinnacle to spend some time in the great Natural State's outdoors.  The kiddos played so well together that we really got a chance to catch up - as much as is possible when you only have one day.

The time was so good and far too short, as usual.  It was great to hear about their work and be encouraged by all the Lord is doing.  I don't know the next time we will make it to SE Asia, but we certainly are excited about that far off day!



We love you, Bennos!
