Saturday evening we enjoyed a wonderful time of fellowship at a local restaurant in Canton, South Dakota with Pete and Linda VanBeek (Linda is Mary’s sister; we are staying with them) and Rev. and Mrs. Bart and Clarice Elshout (in the foreground of the picture). Yesterday I preached twice for Bart (a very good friend of mine for more than half a century) in Hull, Iowa (second picture). It was good also to reconnect with a number of people who I had the privilege to pastor back in the 1970s in Sioux Center, Iowa.
