Ann Arbor or Bust!

The collage speaks for itself! Elena was introduced to the Burtt family and the Ann Arbor Baptist Church family. We had a great time with everyone!! Looking forward to Christmas with you all!

Meeting in Columbus, Ohio

After presenting our ministry in Portsmouth, we headed north to Columbus for a Wednesday meeting. This meeting was significant in a few ways. This is the church where Uncle Ben and Aunt Kay Gillilan are located. This is my dad's oldest sister. Uncle Ben is the Pastor, and we enjoyed getting to know the people at New Beginnings Baptist Church. Also, this was the first church to take us on for support, so we enjoyed finally meeting them all and thanking them in person. Thank you!

Sam returns to birthplace...Portsmouth, Ohio

The Oshkosh Sanderlin family have been part of the missions conference at my Grandad Sanderlin's home church, Temple Baptist in Portsmouth, Ohio. We have enjoyed the time with Pastor Gowdy and those who knew Granny and Grandad Sanderlin as well as my dad. We gave an extended testimony in Sunday School, and tonight we presented our future ministry in Cameroon. Elena and Abby have enjoyed seeing Portsmouth for the first time and hearing about Grandad's influence in Temple Baptist and Portsmouth.

Lima "Dean"

We enjoyed our overnight stay with Jim in Lima, Ohio last Friday. He is the new music pastor at Calvary Bible Church and teaches music in Lima Christian Academy. You're doing great, Jim! Here are some pics of Jim and Elena.

Elena meets Audella

Elena is no longer the newest baby in the Sanderlin family. We met Audella Kate Wredburg on Friday as we passed through Sun Prairie, Wisconsin on our way to Ohio. Here is a good girl cousin shot with Grammie Sanderlin. Mom and Dad (Jessica and Andy) are doing well!
See you guys later.

Back from the Bahamas

The trip to the Bahamas is now over, and I've never been so glad to see Wisconsin autumn weather! What a trip! We were able to help missionaries Dave and Sharon Spangler with some projects around their house as well as help in some of their ministry to the children on Current Island. Praise the Lord for safety in the flight. Terry Rushing is a fantastic pilot, and I was glad to be learning more as his co-pilot. We can now pray better for the Spanglers as they preach Christ to a forgotten people on Eleuthera Island in the Bahamas. This will probably be my last trip as co-pilot for Wings for a long time as we will be full time on deputation for a while. Abby and Elena looked great when I came back, and we were so glad to see them!
