One of the joys in serving on missionary ventures is meeting and establishing long lasting friendships with other Christians. Elaine and I had the privilege of serving together with Walt and Millie Nadalson and Don and June Rediger.
During our 2010 stay at Wycliffe Associates headquarters in Orlando, Florida we were taken by surprise. At our Sunday evening service at the volunteer center chapel our friends surprised us with a 58th wedding anniversary celebration. They called us up front and presented us with a beautiful anniversary cake and a money tree to help finance our upcoming mission trip to Cameroon, West Africa. We were totally overwhelmed by their love and generosity.
It's hard to find couples nowadays that have been married for 58 years. It's been quite a ride and we've enjoyed every minute of it.
