Ohio River Trip

When we first got to Louisville we had a visit from two lovely ladies, Vicky and Carol, who represented a group of women who wish to sponsor us as an international family at the seminary. They blessed us with gifts and Target gift cards for the children. We had mentioned to them how surprised the children had been at the size of the river and the bridges so Carol and her husband, Bill, organized this trip on their boat. Vicky and her husband Dick, Vicky's mother Ruth and another couple Charles and Dianne also came.
It was a wonderful evening. The children had such a good time sitting up the front of the boat, helping pass out snacks and eating dinner on the boat. The river is huge compared to anything we have in New Zealand and we saw the Bell of Louisville pass, which is an old paddle boat that we hope to go on in the future. The other piece of history that we passed was the crest line of the 1937 flood.
God blessed us with a beautiful evening and with these lovely, giving families who gave of their time and resources for our enjoyment.
