What? A trip to Virginia... Ok let's go!

Yes, I had to go to Virginia for TWM to debrief our missionary to Africa, Rev. Richard and Anita Chapel. Dr. Debra McCormick went with me as she is interested in the missionary schools with TWM. She is going to Africa at the end of June and check out the situation as well as minister... So we had many meetings but our feet were on historic soil so we enjoyed seeing the area...
Just picked Anita up from work... She is a Major in the Air Force and works at the hospital. She is so wonderful... A gracious lady with a heart for missions... not just Africa... While we were there she told me if she can get the go ahead from the general again she will go with me to the Philippines in November.... Yipeeeeeee!

Here is a picture of a lady and her rooster in Jamestown... The first colony in America... Before Plymouth Rock... It was so moving to stand on that very soil... The history was ominous... The rooster... well he was something else... hahaha...

Nothing like rocking on the front porch in a nice rocking chair... Notice the two bags of items.... We ate at a restaurant called "Cracker Barrel" and they sell all kinds of cutesie things... I especially loved the daisy tea pot and the salt water taffy and the sugar babies... The food was yummy, too... Dumplin's and fried catfish... Better than Po' Folks...

This is a statue of Pochahantas and I am giving her a hand shake of good will... This settlement was full of so many unique things to see... Debra and I were both standing around with our mouths open... Truly, moving... Don't know what we will do when we get to Africa... hahaha...

This trip went well and much was accomplished for our trip and the work... I ask you to all pray as we are not travelling together... I am going with the Korean delegation, staying in 5 star hotels and the comfort of large air conditioned autos... Preaching in a church of 30,000 membership... Debra is taking her twin 11 year old daughters and Kiesha and her older auntie... She has paid for the trip herself and will be staying and working in the villages of the PAGA churches... and yet we both need your prayer as the work of the Holy Spirit must be done and it is our hearts to be used and the almighty has accepted our offer... We will catch up with each other in Nairobi, Kenya... Anyway... more reporting on that after the trip.... For now this trip was successful!
