The Simonton Group

Last week the Simonton CC Group was an campus. Each year members from their church come to RGBI and divide up amongst themselves all the missionary couples and have a time to get to know them and meet some of their needs.

On Thursday afternoon, we all met our assigned couple, Ron and Amy (below)

They came over and asked us several questions about some urgent needs that our family had.

Several couples from SCC fixed our clothes lines and also replaced some of the rusty children's swings at the play area. What a blessing!

One of the men from the church, came over and helped us with our old laptop. Our computer is running much better. His advice was a big blessing to us and we are very grateful.

Ron and Amy (and the SCC) bought us some new luggage, since we really needed to have some more suitcases to fly home to MN. Originally, remember, we were going to drive home in our mini van, but after the accident we needed to fly home. The kids each received a back pack for the plane trip, filled with goodies and games.

Our suitcases were full of goodies and gift certificates.
We were blown away and overwhelmed with the sensitivity and generous gifts from the Simonton Group. Each missionary family was truly blessed by the group.

Our family and several other missionary families, were taken out to eat at Logan's Steakhouse by the Simonton Group.

We all had a great time getting to know each other in a better way.
Thank you Simonton Group for thinking of the missionary families!

Jordan and Ben got a kick out of Logan's cause you were encouraged to
throw your peanut shells on the floor. A kid's delight!
