We arrived in Roswell, New Mexico on July 4th! Little did we know that we were just in time for their Annual Alien Festival! It has been reported that an alien spaceship landed in the desert just outside of Roswell in 1947! :) We took advantage of this opportunity to pass out tracts for Tabernacle Baptist Church which were entitled: "We Were Once Aliens!" (Using the text from Ephesians 4:18 to explain the way of Salvation. "Having the understanding darkened, being alienated from the life of God through the ignorance that is in them, because of the blindness of their heart:") The Alien Parade included a "couch potato" and other random, hilarious looking characters! We'll never forget our 2008 "out-of-this-world" fourth of July! It was truly unlike anything we've ever seen! Since you may never get the chance to visit Roswell, New Mexico during their Annual Alien Festival, we thought you might enjoy these pictures!
The McMillans were so kind to take us out to eat and then to watch a beautiful fireworks display that evening! We had so much fun with their three adorable little boys! We also really enjoyed celebrating two birthdays the next day at the Perry's home. With an outdoor cookout, a jump-house, water guns, and lots of Christian fellowship, it was a perfect way to get to know the kind people of Tabernacle Baptist Church. We met Mrs. Dee Dee Tanner who sends greetings to Rachel Galang (Rocky Mountain Trio)! Thank you so much for inviting us to celebrate these special occasions with you. You made us feel like part of the family and we really appreciate it!
