Yeah, didn't want the home crowd to feel left out here, so here's the Joplin list:
1. Friends
2. Our ministry at the BSU
3. Forest Park Baptist Church
4. Being close to family
5. Closer to Oregon than Bloomington
6. "Opa's" (Mythos: authentic reek cuisine. The kids call it 'Opa's' because that's what you yell when they light the cheese appetizer on fire at your table.)
7. Mark Dinwiddie, and not just because he pays for lunch on Mondays.
8. Well, I'm not sure I can go any deeper, but I will say that we have seen God do amazing things in the 2.5 years we've been here, and that makes up for A LOT.
