Kuepfer's House

Yesterday after church our class went over to one of our classmates house (Janette Kuepfer).  They had prepared a amazing lunch for us, and then we just hung out and played games and stuff.  Some of the games we did included Signs, Pie Face, and Four on the Couch.  Here and there we had some snacks (that each of us had brought) and we had a lot of fun.   Even though hanging out with all of my friends and spending time with them was a lot of fun, that wasn't the most enjoyable part.  As we (Daniel and I) were about to leave, Wayne and Loretta (Janette's parents) asked Daniel and I about our Missions trip.  And for the next 70-80 minutes Daniel, Janette, Wayne, Loretta, and I had a really good talk.   This, I would have to say was the most enjoyable time. It brought back a lot of good memories, we talked about a wide rage of topics and altogether had good conversation.  A year ago, I would of found that very boring, but I really enjoyed it this time. 

Prior to getting into this conversation though, I was just sitting in their living room looking around.  Though there was very little/faint resemblance, their house brought back a ton of memories from our house in Texas (which it's been 9 years since we moved out of that house).   I was just flooded with these memories, more that I ever have had before. It was as if I was in the house again.  It was as if I was in our living room, looking to this and that, as nearly the entire house unfolded in my head.  I saw the beauties of the view out the front windows.  I walked down halls I haven't seen in ages.  Many memories that were made in that house came back to me.  Then I saw a picture of the front of a house on the Kuepfer's wall and though it was largely different, it reminded me so much of the front of our Texas house.   Then for the next 10 minutes or so, it seemed that nearly the entire 4 years that we were there just came back in clips of memories.  It was a great time.  However I found it hard to snap out of it. Daniel and Amanda apparently had been talking to me at different time, but I was off in another house that I didn't comprehend their words.  Daniel then started asking me specific details about the memories, like what was God showing me through it all and stuff.  This really got me thinking and it's amazing all that I found.   I can honestly say that I've never had an experience like this before.

To end the night off on another good spin, when we left (around 10:30pm) it was snowing, so beautifully, with already 3-4 inches of snow on the ground.   It was amazing!!!
