Here is a brief update from our recent travels in May. We spent a week in Oshkosh finishing our visa paperwork and getting 9 shots between the three of us. Elena is all recovered now from an ear infection, except for a small rash she may have acquired from the antibiotics.
We left Oshkosh for a camp meeting in northern Michigan (lower peninsula). This was our first experience of an old fashioned camp meeting and was in a 1500 seat tent.
After that we had a Wednesday through Sunday missions conference in Midland, Michigan. Wow! The church was such an encouragement to us and took us on for support on Sunday morning. The assistant pastor used to be a missionary pilot in Brazil, and he took me up in a Cessna 177 (Cardinal). He gave me some pointers about jungle aviation and short runway landings while we were up. Abby and Elena went up with us as well and had a great time. Also, along with the other missionaries and church staff I went bowling and in the same day golfed my first nine holes…Grandad Sanderlin would be proud. Abby had a great time shopping with the ladies. We really made some good friends while there last week. This church in Midland is our 12th supporting church.
I thought all the Petersons would appreciate the pictures of Elena’s attempt at making faces.
We are currently in Ann Arbor for a few days before going to Pennsylvania for a meeting next week. Because of the price of gas, we may end of flying as we have found a good deal on tickets.
