You wonder what their lives have turned into.
Did they get married to that person they were dating or someone else?
Where are they now?
What are they doing?
Are they in the ministry?
Our time in Spearfish, SD was a time to reconnect with a former NBBC roommate of mine. Jason Hartung was only in our room for one semester, but I remember we had a great time.
Here is the picture of my junior year roommates and what they are doing today:
Ben Layer (white shirt) - Married college sweetheart, three children, BWM missionary to Poland
Danny Thompson (bottom right) - My brother-in-law (Kristi's brother), married an MK from France, three children, fellow GMSA missionary to Chile (leaving for Chile at the end of Nov.)
Jason Hartung (bottom left) - transfered to another school, got married, adopted a girl, four other foster children currently in their home, senior pastor in Spearfish, SD, and if life didn't seem busy enough...he is a full time electrician. I am tired just thinking about it.
Our families had a great time together, despite all 8 kids running around. Go to Jason's wife's blog for her comments on our visit. (HERE , HERE , or HERE)
God is blessing the work in Spearfish and we continue to pray that it would grow numerically and in spiritual maturity.
After the morning services, the church had a Fall pot-luck at one of the member's homes. These times are great to get to know the families, their stories, their concerns, and their backgrounds.
On Monday morning we left Spearfish around 8:30 am in order to make a quick stop back in Buffalo Gap to see some friends from GA who just happened to be in the area. We arrived at our house around 11:15 pm...and our beds have never felt better than that night.

That picture is just too funny! I love seeing what his (Jason's) life was about before we were married!
