Before we left Pasco, we stopped by the First Baptist church where Nana & Papa were married and Cheri & I were dedicated. We looked around the grounds first then Nana decided she wanted to go inside. We went up to the front doors of the church but the doors were locked. When we had drove around to the back of the church, we had noticed someone doing the yard work. So Nana drove back around to the back of the church. She talked to the lady running the weedeater and asked her if the church was open. The lady said no but that it would be open later that evening. Nana told her that we were leaving today and that we had stopped by to visit the church that she was married in. The lady said that she would try to get a hold of the Pastor. Papa & I felt that we shouldn`t bother this lady and let her get her work done. Nana was determined to go inside. The Pastor had actually been outside working on yard work too. He was very nice and walked us inside and showed us around. He said that he had been the Pastor for 15 years. Nana and Papa had talked to him about how they remembered the church looking and then he showed us the church scrapbook (there was a picture of Roy Hutchenson- a family friend) that they have in church foyer. It was a very sentimental time (of course Nana & I shedded a few happy tears) and wonderful visit.
