Wolverine, MI 
"That sign looks familiar," someone said as we passed the sign the third time for the Sleeping Bear Dunes. Have you ever been to a tourist attraction where they hid the attraction? It took time, but we finally found the Sleeping Bear Dunes, and what a sight - 450 feet of sand straight up from the banks of Lake Michigan!
Later that afternoon, the Swains introduced us to two of their good friends, Pastor and Mrs. Theaker; they have been at Wolverine Baptist for twenty-eight years! It was greatly encouraging to see so many children attend the King's Kids that night. The little ones were so thrilled to hear us sing. Mr. Swain preached a convicting message about our "ministry of reconciliation" and how we ought to be "not ashamed of the gospel of Christ." 
After the service, we all went to the pastor's home to celebrate Tiffany's birthday - again! The Ashmores' mom sent a box of goodies and a note about buying Tiffany a birthday cake. Once again our hopes of watching the food we eat vanished with the sight of chocolate. That night, Tiffany and Krystal stayed with a good friend, a "snow bird" who spends her winters in Bradenton, Florida. Mrs. Everett was thrilled to see the two girls so grown up from the times she remembered them at Trinity Baptist, their church home in Florida. We would also like to thank the pastor for taking in the rest of the group.
