Final day in Arizona City - Sunday, June 7

Our last day in Arizona City was great! Sunday school and the Sunday morning service were both great here. Missionary Danny Whetstone and his wife were visiting in the services and he taught a great lesson in Sunday School and preached an equally powerful message in the morning service. Hannah was out of town at her brother's wedding, but another girl named Kaylee from North Carolina is visiting here as well and she, Rebecca, and I sang a trio in the morning service. After the service, the church had dinner on the grounds. I hate to say it, but their meal put to shame any dinner on the grounds I have ever been at. It was so much food and it was all wonderful!


The Sunday evening service was also very encouraging. Our trio had the opportunity to sing again, and Bro. Whetstone preached another great message from God's Word. After the service, the Roe family, the Whetstones, Rebecca, Kaylee, and I all enjoyed a meal together at In-N-Out Burger. I believe they only have these in this part of the country, but it was definitely the tastiest burger I have ever had. Everyone has been telling us we just had to eat there, and it definitely lived up to what we have heard. After dinner, it was time for everyone to say goodbye. We're quickly discovering how difficult it is every week to bid farewell to these families and individuals that we're growing so close to. We are so grateful to everyone here and how kind and encouraging they have been! We have loved getting to know the pastor's family and his children, as well as all the other families in the church. We've been so blessed to have the privilege to try to serve and learn at the Heaven's View Baptist Church! :)

In Christ Alone,
Jen, Hannah, and Rebecca

Missionaries Danny and Darleen Whetstone were a huge blessing to us. They were here serving the Lord and encouraging this church on their 40th Wedding Anniversary!
