Friends are a blessing!




      On Sunday we visited a Netherlands friend (front center of photo) at her host home in southeastern PA. She has come to live abroad for a year of voluntary service before she trains for a profession. We first met the Netherlands family when her parents hosted our tour group in their home. We enjoyed learning to know this family with two young children in 1997. Two years later her father planned a special service in the Pingium Church for our1999  tour group.  We have enjoyed continued contact and their visit to PA about eight years ago. We look forward to another  visit from the family later this summer. They live in the area where Menno Simons lived in the 1500's. Her father is a history teacher who is most interested in Mennonite/Anabaptist history.
     In the photo you will also see a historian friend, John L. Ruth and his wife, Roma. Our young friend was pleased to have all of us on one picture!
    Our world has been broadened and we are privileged to have the blessing of old friends and new friends, close  neighbors and friends from afar!
