Update 4/13/26: Spring Break Part 2

Psalm 133:3 “From the rising of the sun to its setting, the name of the Lord is to be praised.”

To finish our spring break, the girls and I drove to Washington DC to spend the day there and visit the Museum of the Bible to see their special exhibit of the Dead Sea Scrolls. God blessed us with beautiful weather. We also met up with some friends that we have known for many years. Morgan was in Wayne’s small group when we volunteered with the youth ministry in California. He later attended Moody and we had them over a few times over the years. It was amazing to see them again!

We had to make a quick stop at a walk in clinic for an infection Joella developed. Thankfully, we got it all cleaned up and were back on the road to make our tour time.

I was wondering why the hotel price was so high and we discovered it was cherry blossom time. I guess we timed that well?

We found a new version of Where is Waldo…

Beautiful sunset!

The next morning we woke up early and met up with Susan and Sibin for coffee. What a precious friendship these two (Shan and Sibin) have. It’s sweet to hear them share stories from their childhood. I’m so thankful that God wove this family into our lives!

We stopped at Wayne’s favorite stop along the 64. I may have cried the rest of the way home. The last time we went there was in October when we drove to meet Ruth for the first time. Now I made the journey without Wayne and I just made me sad. But we try to think of positive things so that the grief doesn’t drag us down.

We enjoyed a great spring break and all of God’s creation.

Prayer Requests:

- Please pray for my dad as he heals from RSV pneumonia. Please also pray for my mom and me who caught it from him. 

- please pray that none of the kids get sick. 

So thankful for each of you and your faithful prayers for us over the years.
