Saying goodbye to dear friends

Last week we said a tearful goodbye to our dear friends, Patrick and Jennifer McConnell. (They sensed the Lord was calling them to move back to Georgia to help with a church plant.)

We met Patrick and Jennifer about 11 years ago when Patrick and Roland were in the same discipleship group. When we met we were living in apartments. We were young, carefree and had no kids. I'm sure neither of us couples could have imagined what the Lord had in store for each of us... Our friendship has seen many changes over the years-not the least of which are the birth/adoption of 13 kids, approximately 8 moves, (I lost count on their end!), job changes, career changes, ministry changes...The list goes on....
But, we are so thankful to the Lord for their faithful friendship over the years. We will miss them greatly!
