Friday morning we left to spend the weekend in Arkansas. On our way we stopped in Poplar Bluff - General Baptist Medina (General Baptist Mecca is Evansville – if you’re not familiar with islam and the General Baptists this will make no sense to you – don’t worry about it). Once again, back to the topic. We stopped at the General Baptist headquarters in Poplar Bluff to take care of some paperwork stuff. Yes, even when you move out of the country to serve God you still have to fill out all the government paperwork just like you do here when change employers. What does Bible say about being obedient to those in charge of the government because He put them there?
So after completing the paperwork, eating lunch, Cindy going through some medications that had been donated to see what we could use, and missing a turn on the way out of town (ok, it should read Brad missing a turn on the way out of town) we headed for Heber Springs Arkansas. We spent the weekend with David and Jillbaby Eades. We had a blast.
Saturday Cindy and Jillbaby went to Little Rock to shop. She had a great time just spending time with Jill, hanging out, laughing, and seeing Arkansas. She had been looking forward to this trip since it was arranged in September and it was definitely worth it.
On Saturday David and the boys Mason (aka “Buddy”) and Harrison (aka “Buddy Lee”) took Brad to their farm for a guy day complete with being outdoors and shooting guns. At one point David asked Brad to get on the back of the four-wheeler and go with him to replenish the automatic deer feeders. After Brad got on he then handed Brad a rifle and said that’s in case we come across a bear - he wasn’t joking. I wish I could tell a story about how I had to shoot a bear that was charging us but the truth is all we saw were some wild turkeys that ran as we approached.
On Sunday we went to Jerry and Evelyn Eades' church and had the opportunity to share. Afterwards they were having there church Thanksgiving dinner so we were “forced” to stay and eat the home-cooked food. It was difficult but we forced it down until we were completely stuffed. Jerry and Evelyn are amazing people. Jerry is 83 and in February is going to make his (I believe) fourth trip to Honduras in two years. Evelyn is making her fifth trip in 2 ½ years. What an encouragement.
After lunch we headed back to the David and Jillbaby’s, changed clothes, and drove the eight hours back to Newburgh. It was a good weekend.
