The plane landed at KCI on Friday at noon, and we were back in Missouri. Sam, a wonderful friend from ALBC who takes ministering to missionaries very serious, picked us at the airport and has loaned us his car for the entire time we are in town. We are so thankful for his generosity. We loaded up the luggage, headed to Lee's Summit to drop off Sam and made a quick stop at my dad's house to pick up winter coats, clothes and shoes. The drive to Springfield was painless and Stephen commented how our Salvadoran friends would be so impressed with the pothole free roads that those of us in the states take for granted.
Springfield: finally, hugs from all the Guenthers--Terisa, Steve, Carmen, Michael, Ethan, Chloe, Ryan and Rachel (1-day short of being a Guenther)--after four long months! Stephen was quite anxious about accompanying Carmen and Scott on their respective songs. After all, it's very difficult to practice when you're a 1000 miles apart. Not to worry, everything sounded great. I didn't know that I was going to be part of the wedding party, but Ethan and I practiced walking down the aisle on Friday night.
Saturday morning was a beautiful, but crispy cold (for us) wedding day. The wedding was perfect--there's nothing better than seeing two people who love the Lord, become one! We are so excited to see what He has in store for them over the next 50+ years!
We started Sunday morning at the 8:00 a.m. service and it was great to be able to worship at our home church. We are so thankful for our church family and the support they provide to us and the ministry in El Salvador. We couldn't do anything without them.
