Northeast Trip 2

Sandy and I left Quebec, Canada and drove down into New York state. Since the Brian Williams family had just recently moved to New York, we wanted to spend some time with them. (They have actually been staying with Jim and Sylvia Martin and will be moving into an apartment in Buffalo on September 1.)

Here's the Williams family when we went out to eat. There is Brian, Emily, Leah, Lauren, and Lucas.



Lauren is trying to teach me something.



Brian's steak didn't come cooked as he wanted it, but he was nice and ate it anyhow. Then he mentioned it to the waitress and got a new steak and potato for free. Here he is with his second steak of the night. Pretty smart.



On Sunday, we went to church near Rochester with the Booths and Martins.
Here is Dana and me after church.



While we were in Rochester, Sandy and I stayed with our son, Nathan, and his wife, Rachel.
(They are a nice looking young couple.)
This is on the Erie Canal.




Here is Jim Martin teaching on Wednesday night. He did a good job.



The FWB home missionaries from Pennsylvania and New York had a regional meeting near Rochester. We met in a motel meeting room. Here is the group before one of our sessions.
We had a great time discussing and listing things on the white board.
And we had a great quote from Tom Jones - "They ain't comin!"


We had pizza that night and I got the picture just as Tom opened his mouth.



We did go out for one nice dinner. With all this eating, you can see why I'm fat.




Nate and Jenna Altom



We took a boat ride on the Canandaigua Lake.
Brian and Emily Williams


Jim and Sylvia Martin



Allen and Jenny Hall




The captain needed help and some volunteered to steer the boat.





This last guy almost wrecked us, so we gave it back to the captain.



Dana and Betty Booth




Tom and Pam Jones


Sandy Atwood, Sylvia Martin, and Emily Williams



Here's the whole group in front of the motel.



It is truly a privilege to spend time with all of our home missionaries. They are salt of the earth people. And they are friends.
I thank God for them.
