Before we get too far away from it…
Let me just pause and say…
What a pure delight it was to welcome Ben Wall to our home and ministry in Ft Portal.
It’s no surprise… he fit right in.
He and Trisha have been a part of this work for years now.
They are story telling, laugh-festing, sorrow bearing, dream sharing, soul-trusting friends.
And those are hard to come by, in this life.
The only thing that would have made his visit better…
Trisha’s presence. ☺ (Have I said that enough, Ben?)
God spoke mightily through you, brother. At Faith Quest, in Ft Portal church, in our yard, on the drive to Kampala and during all those late night talks…
Our brothers and sisters here were challenged, blessed and fed...
Our children were thrilled to hang out with "Mistuh Ben"...
And Jeff and I were...again, rejuvenated...by the presence of a "point us to God" friend.
Sweet Trisha, I’m sure you had the harder job. Your willingness to sacrifice your husband’s time and presence is a tremendous gift. Thank you for single parenting with your hands very full. You are my hero.
We love you deeply in Christ…and are overwhelmed with joy every time we get to share in ministry with you.
How sweet it truly is!
Come back and see us “Mistuh Ben.” (but bring Trisha!)

I'm glad you are committed not to quit, because I for one would miss you.
(BTW, I waited until they forced me to become a new blogger too.)
Cheryl you have such a great way of writing. They sound like great people. It is always nice to have house guests. The kids seem to attach quickly and they provide memories that continue for a long time.
Hi Cheryl! I enjoy reading your blogs. You are so encouraging to me. I look forward to the Ladies Retreat and talking to you, hopefully more in depth. Thanks so much!

The pleasure was all mine Cheryl. There will be more time together soon, I pray! Praise God for the sweet joy of friendship! I can't wait to come back!
