Yesterday afternoon Shanna Hymes Bean and I found these two lost Yanks, Lourdes Obregon Ariceaga and Rodrigo Ariceaga milling about Paddington Station and decided to show them around London! In all seriousness, we were so encouraged and honoured for Rodrigo and "Donna Lou" from our home church in Texas to take time out of their 25th anniversry trip to Europe to be our first visitors from the United States. We so enjoyed getting to catch up with them and show them a bit of our host culture, and the kids loved getting to share a fun meal with them at our local pub, The Duke of Kent. We only wish that they could have stayed longer!!
***Please note that the pictures we post have been shared with the permission of those pictured. When necessary we obscure the faces and name tags of some of our friends who may one day have to return to a home country where their involvement in a church sponsored event, associating with a missionary, or even walking into a christian church may put them or their family in danger. Please don't share these images further without permission. Thank you for helping us keep them safe!!!***
