(Tim, w/thanks to David W.) Last night, I was up in the bedroom when I heard screaming, downstairs. Going down to check out the commotion, I found our dear sister, Terri Wegener, standing in the hallway with her daughters, Mary and Lizzie.
Mary has been living with our son-in-law and daughter, Doug and Heather Ummel, this past year, and graduates from Bloomington North High School this weekend. So, as a gift to his family, David sent Terri home for the celebration--all the way from Ndola, Zambia. No one knew. It was a complete surprise. What joy to Lizzie and Mary! What joy to Mary Lee and me! What joy to us all!
If you want to know the pain of missions work that takes you overseas, watch this clip of Terri surprising Mary last night, in the Ummels' driveway...
But keep in mind Heaven will be even more joyful, with no admixture of tears.
