6wks in Review - Part Two: Arkansas

After our week stay in NV, we went back to TX for two days before going to Arkansas with the Geers for a family wedding.
While in Texas we visited Grandma and Grandpa Aboul-Ela
Jenny and Ella met up with all of us in Arkansas. Here are the 4 Geer Cousins on the hillside before the wedding. It was a joyous occasion witnessing two devoted Christians committing their lives to one another. The part of the ceremony that put tears in all of our eyes was when both sets of parents, the bride, and groom prayed on stage holding hands in a circle while a song finished playing. On the same hillside we enjoyed fireworks on the 3rd of July.Scott caught a frog and Adeline thoroughly enjoyed holding it and showing it off.Great Grandma & Grandpa Geer

6wks in Review - Part One: Nevada

To my faithful followers in Battle Mountain, NV - please forgive me for taking so long to update!
We had a wonderful last six weeks with friends and family. The trip started off with 3 days in TX (picture above represents those 3 days. Cousin Colten is in the middle) before heading to see friends in Elko & Battle Mountain, NV.
What a refreshing trip with Christian brothers and sisters! This was our first visit back to our home in the States in 3 years.
We stayed in the home of Joanna & Clay Hutnyak with their three blessings while in Elko. What an encouragement it was to stay in the home of a mom with a gentle spirit! We thoroughly
enjoyed our time with all of our friends in Elko, but unfortunately I wasn't good about getting out the camera.
We made it up to the Lamoille Canyon and the Hutnyak family is pictured below.
Our church family is in Battle Mountain, NV at Grace Orthodox Presbyterian Church. Again, what an encouraging time! We stayed with Ken & Judy Cox (Judy pictured below) and fellowshipped, fellowshipped, and then fellowshipped some more! We were among brothers and sisters who truly represent "as iron sharpens iron." Matthias was baptized while we were in BM.
Our dear brother Jeff Wheeler and Rev Christ Post.
