Good-Bye, Most Excellent Friends!
…we will see you soon if the Lord wills.
Today a truck pulls away from Hopedale filled with the belongings of the Evans family. They are moving to Tennessee as the Lord calls Bryan and his family to a different ministry. We will sorely miss them, in so many ways, but we will see them as often as we can. Thankfully they’ll be visiting family and such here at least a couple of times each year and we’ll see them then, and we plan to go down for their baby’s baptism in August and to visit on our way to Arkansas in May.
A couple of weeks ago we took them to a Peoria Rivermen game at the Civic Center. Home town boys won 5-0! Here are a few pictures from the game:
The zamboni between periods (above) as Samuel Logan (below) watches eagerly:
Here Bryan explains the finer points of the game:
“You see the guy with the “L” shaped stick? He’s trying to hit a little black rubber thingamabob towards the guy who looks like Jason from Friday the 13th. Then that guy catches it while doing ballet moves and simultaneously dancing the limbo.”
[Actually Theresa and I learned quite a bit more about hockey from Mr. Evans during the game and were glad to be able to take it in with them. Perhaps when they visit next December we'll get in another game together]
Guys skating:
And these last two are because Jedidiah and Faith were completely cute:
Good-bye, true and faithful friends. We will miss you dearly and pray that we will see you again very soon.
