friends, fun and travel...

Lily LOVES "kitty" almost as much as she loves kitty food.

We have had a busy and fun few days in Columbus, Ohio, and are heading east with a clean bill of health. Thursday afternoon we spent in the pool with good friends, and checking out their horses. Don't think Lily's going to be a cowgirl any time soon! Thank you Steve, Jenn, Erika and Lydia!

Friday we met up with our dear friend Hugo, and spent the last 24 hours with him before putting him on a plane for Iowa this afternoon.

We met Hugo four years ago while training to go to the mission-field. He is an ambassador with OMS for the South African field (and is South African), and each time we have the opportunity to see him, it is such a joy and blessing for each of us. What a passionate, loving, wise and prayerful man of God!

Bright and early tomorrow morning we head for New Bedford Presbyterian Church, and will be spending the day sharing some of our experiences this past year and with good friends!

We may be heading your way! Check out the "Ayars Summer Speaking Schedule" link on the top right of this page to see when we might be in your area...we would LOVE to see you!
