Thru It All (From Palatine)
Last but not least on this Monday morning is acknowledging the congregation of Immanuel Lutheran Church of Palatine, IL, who have stood with us forever it seems as we had been first sent to Indonesia and then to Cambodia. This was also coupled with their Trunk and Treat festival later that day.
Pastor Tom brought forth the children of the congregation to talk with them (and the rest of us) about missionaries. They each got to shake our hands as we left the altar area.
A special thank you to Diana Broj and Lisa for their outstanding assistance on the sidelines whenever we needed their expertise and / or to bail us out.
One lovely humorous note (and somewhat payback time also occurred at this point as well.) Many of you know that while we were in Indonesia many times I was called “Ibu George” rather than by my given name as was the culture there. While it took a while to get used to I didn’t mind it.
This very morning one of the children introduced us as “Mr. and Mrs. Shary Frahm.” I leaned over to George and said “Ah, payback time, huh ~ chuckle, chuckle.”
That comment was so priceless. Perfect !
