Road Trip to Alabama and Georgia Post 1: Visiting Ms. Jane

We recently took a road trip to Alabama and Georgia to visit ministry friends and three churches.  We left Mississippi on a Friday afternoon heading to Alto, GA.

We always like to stop at welcome centers when traveling, especially this one in Alabama.
 
 Here we are in the same spot back in 2013 and 2017 while traveling on Stateside Assignment.

We made our first visit to Buc-ee's.  We stopped at the one in Leeds, AL.  


We arrived at Ms. Jane's house on Saturday.  She is a retired IMB missionary who helped mentor us during our first term on the field.  We spent the weekend with her.  It was a joy to sit and talk and catch up with her in person.   She is a precious lady who is loved by many.

That evening we had supper at the Duckett's house.  Mrs. Brenda cooked a delicious meal!  We spent the evening visiting and enjoying their fellowship.  

The boys spent a lot of time playing on Ms. Jane's piano over the weekend.  This is a photo of them on Sunday morning before we left for church.

I love the photo of Mr. Wendall sitting above.  We miss him!

We went to church on Sunday morning with Ms. Jane.  She attends Harmony Baptist in Baldwin, GA.  I shared in her Sunday School class and David preached during the morning service.

She cooked a delicious Sunday lunch for us, the Ducketts, and her pastor and his wife.  We ate and talked around the table about a possible volunteer team coming down from their church in 2022.

We are very thankful to have had that visit with Ms. Jane.   She is very dear to our hearts.  I left feeling very loved and encouraged.  Having her and Mr. Wendell's influence will always be a highlight of our missionary service.
