The day is not over yet, but we thought we'd blog about the day as it is happening. Andy and Luey are learning to make pizza with Bonnie and Brenda. From the laughter coming from the kitchen, it seems they are having a great time! On Friday, Luey and Andy learned to make ice cream, and now pizza! It seems that Luey is destined to return to Taiwan and open a pizza and ice cream shop!
This morning we worshipped with the First Christian Church, in Monticello. They have been partnered with us since we went to Taiwan, 15 years ago. The missions team is awesome! Kathy, our FA, is also a member of this congregation. David Papner has been a great right hand man for Gloritrek, helping to organized several Gloritrek events across the US, including Monticello's! What a blessing these folks are!
The morning including two worship services, and a terrific fellowship lunch. Brenda, Emily, David and Noah were all in attendance, as well as some more old friends. It was great to see Bryce Schaffer, who interned with us two years ago and biked around Taiwan with us. Noah spoke to the youth in "The Shed," and we're told he did well, with a little assistance from MissE (Emily).
In the afternoon, Steve drove us out to Allerton Park, a mansion on the outskirts of Monticello. Allerton Park is hard to describe, a place where, at one time, money and power ruled! Truly, we've never seen any place like it!
This evening, we are eating pizza, speaking at a Gloritrek event at FCC, and eating dessert afterward! Life is really hard for the Gloritrek team! Tomorrow it is another short riding day of about 50 miles to Newman; and Brenda's parent's home. Bryce Schaffer, a.k.a. "Windbreaker," will be joining us to Newman! We are truly blessed!
Thank you for praying!
Dave, Luey and Andy
