Day 17:
Today we broke out our best clothes that we packed and joined the Grants Pass church for sunday service. It felt good to be back in service. Ed brought a wonderful word on how we need to quit thinking with our natural minds, and instead, have the mind of Christ. After the word was brought, we were brought up onto the platform and blessed. After service we joined some of the people and had coffee and bread. It was a lot of fun getting a chance to meet all of them. Sadly, a good chunk of the congregation was gone for the weekend, but it was still good to meet the ones we did. Hearing about my novels, many people were interested in reading them. Many people blessed me to find the right agent and publisher and were very encouraging. By about noon most of the people had left and Nathan and I were going go into Grants Pass to have lunch and see the town. As we were exiting the church, we were invited to join two other older couples have lunch at a restaurant in town. We excepted and got a chance to visit with them more. The people here really are wonderful. Everyone here is trying to convince us that we should just stay!:D Anyway, after lunch we came back to our tent and caught up some more on internet usage. And then, this evening, we joined the Forbes again for dinner at Kim and Trevon Whitney's (people we know from when they have come to Iowa) house. That time was wonderful. Good food, fun stories, and lots of laughter!! We are now finally back in our tent ready for another nights sleep. Tomorrow, sadly, we will leave here. However, we will start our adventure in California...
End day 17.
