Our First Reunion

First Reunion October 4th, 2019

So much fun seeing so many we served with in South Africa! I'm so grateful to not only have had such a wonderful experience serving the Lord, but coming to know these fantastic individuals have truly enriched our lives. We have enormous love and appreciation for each of our missionaries, young and old! It was like Christmas to be reunited again!!
