Salem Interview.
1 year and 16 days ago, Suzanne and I took a little drive North on 135, 35, and 81. After a couple hours of driving we followed the signs West on a little dirt road called V. Little did we know that it wasn't a dirt road, but it was what the locals call a gravel road. Little did we know the people that lived on that road who today are close friends. At the corner of 9 and V we pulled into a country church, took a deep breath, said a little prayer, and smiled at the beauty of the location.
Very soon we met some very nice people who greeted us warmly with handshakes and smiles. We worked hard to remember their names. We spent some time getting acquainted. We felt at ease. We ate Lasagna and chatted some more. By the time the meeting was over, we felt like we had new friends.
As we said goodbye and hopped into our vehicle, we followed a little green Honda at speeds nearing death on a gravel road. We arrived at the green Honda speedster's house and met his lovely wife. They took us into town to show us around. We toured the parsonage, and then went on a walk.
This was only the beginning of a new love story, as we said goodbye and headed South back to Hesston with visions of what could be dancing in our heads. To be continued...
