Home Again!

We're Back! The National Missionary Conference in Indianapolis was great! The suitcase with the many hats was very appropriate as missionaries definitely wear many hats on a daily basis.

What a thrill to meet and greet many old friends and meet new ones. The banner next to Mr. Wonderful was designed by our daughter and son-in-law It was very effective and we want to give them a big "shout out" for making it. It is proudly on display now at the mission.

We were able to make contact with many missionaries that will benefit from the materials, equipment and information we provide. We also had the privilege of counseling and praying with some very dedicated college kids as they search for avenues of Christian service.

I laughed at Mr. Wonderful as he worked the room. He shook hands, passed out literature and kissed babies. He could have easily been mistaken for a politician. There were over a thousand exhibits and over 8,000 in attendance. Needless to say it was good to get back "to the Daisy Patch". This country girl enjoyed her visit but truly "There's no place like home!"
