Special Friends

As we were watching the airplane coasting to a stop at our local airport (which obviously isn't very big) we were sooooooo excited, knowing that we would soon see our friends, Scott and Cindy Nelsen. We had known they were coming for a long time, but it still was difficult to actually believe they were on that airplane. Soon we would have a few days together to get caught up on our families and how our ministries were going. We would have lots of time to reminisce our fun times together in the Philippines - watching our sons play soccer in High School, the fun Christmases we spent together on our flight center and the fishing trips Ragnar and Scott enjoyed on the east coast. Soon we were back at our home. They did an amazing job of staying awake the rest of the day, despite the several hour time difference (they had arrived from USA). Maybe the walk down to the sea, taking note of all the birds along the way, helped a little. The next day we went to the catherdral city of Lincoln - about one hour away.

We enjoyed wandering around the huge cathedral - the structure was simply amazing.A very informative guided tour of the attic was so interesting. What was able to be accomplished without all of today's modern equipment was basically unbelievable.

Beautiful stained glass windows.

Saturday came too soon, and the four of us were once again in our vehicle, on our way to the other side of the country. They came across the pond for Scott to study Tropical Medicine in Liverpool. We so trust that this was just the beginning of lots of fun times with the Nelsens over the next 3 months that they are here in Great Britian.
