Other places the Post traveled included: Weidman, Mich. to see Dr. Pol; Canada, the Danube River in Hungary and Germany; Great Britain; Peru; St. Jude’s Children’s Hospital in Memphis, Tenn.; Beartooth Highway in Montana and Wyoming; the Bahamas; Beijing; Big Bay, Mich.; Branson, Missouri; California; China; Cozumel, Mexico; Disney World; the Dominican Republic; Los Angeles; Fort Myers; Hawaii; Italy; Kentucky, Ohio; Shipshewana; and Spain.

We have run out of Post travel photos, so if you have one, please send it in! (See details in other Post travels story on this page.)

This week the Post traveled with the Hall family and we received a photo before they even returned home! Gerald and Amy Hall, of Cedar Springs, met up with Amy’s twp sisters and families in Branson, Missouri. “We are spending a week here and visiting sites close by,” said Amy. “It’s wonderful being with family from Richmond, Virginia and West Virginia. Lots of fun and laughs.  I even rode on a zip line!” They also went to see the Dolly Parton Dixie Stampede, and took a trip to the Lake of the Ozark, Arkansas.

Thanks so much to the both of you for taking us with you!

The Chapmans, of Sand Lake, and the Sandersons, of Cedar Springs, travelled to Branson, Missouri to celebrate the Feast of Tabernacles (Leviticus 23:33-43) September 27th through October 6th. For eight days we dwelled in our temporary booths (a rustic cabin in the woods) and attended church services each day. Branson was a beautiful place in the Ozark Mountains and had lots to do, so when we weren’t busy with church activities we got to enjoy some of the local attractions. A group of us went to Silver Dollar City, an amusement park, some of us visited the Titanic Museum, and others enjoyed an aquarium. A few were lucky enough to go to the light and sound theatre to see “Jonah.” There was so much to see and do, eight days wasn’t enough.

Robert Townes and his friend Dee visited Branson, Missouri the week of June 26 and took the Post with them. They saw many shows and stars while they were there, and said it’s a fun time for anyone who plans to go. “We’ve gone every year for 11 years,” said Bob. “We really enjoyed it.” Thanks to Bob and Dee for taking the Post with you!
