Heading East

It's about time I sat down and wrote a little bit again! After my most recent post we were in Indiana and Kentucky on one Sunday. Then we drove through Ohio and into Michigan to be at a preacher's meeting.  We had a great time there and were able to see our pastor and his wife. Many other preachers were there that we have met in the past and we also met some new ones that we will be with in the next few weeks.
We had two meetings in Michigan. Our next meeting was in Emmaus, PA. Since it was going to be a long drive we divided it up into a few days. We spent two days in Pittsburgh and two in Lancaster before arriving in Emmaus.
I had been to LVBC as a child when my parents were on furlough. I really don't remember much from that visit so it was like meeting everyone for the first time. We have had enjoyable services and wonderful fellowship. Some of the families have had us over for supper and it has been a real pleasure to get to know them better.
They have a great bookstore at LVBC and we were able to purchase a Bible for Harry. He has a small New Testament that we forgot in Rochester and he has been asking for one of his own for a while now. Since we travel a lot we're always listening to music. We picked a few CD's also. One for the kids and a gospel CD for us.
Again we've been able to visit a few places along the way. We went to the Pittsburgh Zoo and saw the tabernacle in Lancaster. Just yesterday we went over to Philadelphia and saw Independence Hall and the Liberty Bell. In a way it's sad the kids won't remember being there, but we'll have pictures to show them as they get older.
Pretty soon we'll be going to New York, Long Island, Maryland and New Jersey. How exciting! Since I've never been on the east coast I'm very excited about all the things we'll be seeing and doing in the next few weeks. It's such a privilege to be able to visit so many churches and see that there are many just like us!
