Latest Wiley News
Everything has happened quite fast, and I just haven't been able to keep up with this blog site. But here is our update:
MY FATHER came home from the hospital after having a bleeding ulcer mid-February, but then had a stroke, so went back, and has been in the hospital, rehab, and skilled nursing until Friday, April 13. It has been hard to see him stripped of his dignity, unable to talk, and reduced to the level of an 18 month old. There is always the feeling that we should spend more time with him, and every spare minute is either spent with him or feeling guilty for not being with him. Due to his health, we are not planning any mission trips in the near future.
MISSIONS: We have had the joy of presenting the story of our trip to the Czech Republic at 3 churches.
We led worship at Campton Congregational Church in northern New Hampshire, and were pleasantly surprised to find my brother-in-law's brother is a member of the congregation! Needless to say, we had to go out to lunch and catch up on family news.
Our second presentation was at a Missions Night in Plymouth, Massachusetts. Yes, right next to Plimoth Plantation and the Mayflower. We felt like we should have worn Pilgrim costumes! It was a fun evening. We brought things from Prague, and handed them out to the people there, asking them to guess what each was!
Our third presentation was in East Freetown on Sunday morning. It is a beautiful chapel,
and the pastor is a DEAR friend, so we made many new friends there, and were treated to
breakfast/lunch afterwards!
