Summer is flying by...I'm sad to see it going

We were blessed to have as guests in our home four new friends. On the left is Jose and then his wife ValerieArguedas. They are from Brittany,France where they pastor a church. Jose was originally from Barcelona Spain and Valerie from Paris. Next is Dawn and Alan Maltwood from UK near London. Dawn is theCreative Arts Director at Bethel Church in Dagnum (spelling ?) and Alan is an Elder there. Of course then Jeff, myself and Seth, then Christine and Ken Williamson also from UK near London. They pastor the Bethel chuch in Dagnum. We had the pleasure of being the dinner guests of our friends at the Fish House in Peoria. Ken and his lovely wife joined us after preaching the message at our church (Riverside) on Saturday night. Ken preached again two services on Sunday. God really used him to bring a great word to the congregation. These six people along with 16 others from England left Peoria on Tuesday afternoon and travelled to the Chicago area until Saturday where they continued on their trip to San Francisco for 4-5 days and then on home. We look forward to seeing them again real soon. They were so much fun and like I said before, they will be our forever friends.
