On Sunday (March 2) our small church had an ice cream social after the morning service in honor of Dad (Walter) Jespersen in celebratation of his 95th birthday (which will really be March12).
One of Dad’s good friends, Dave Tschirgi, gave an interesting quiz on Dad’s life asking all of us to write down the answers to the following ten questions:
1. How many churches has Walter pastored and where? (Canada 2, China 2, USA 2)
2. How many children does Walter have? (five; two boys and three girls)
3. Who is Walter’s favorite daughter? (Every one laughed thinking that he would say Margaret, but he fooled everyone by saying all three of his daughters were his favorite!)
4. In what year was Walter born? (1913)
5. Where was Walter born? (Stony Plain [near Edmonton], Alberta, Canada)
6. What is Walter’s middle name? (He doesn’t have one!)
7. When did Walter go to China as a missionary with China Inland Mission (CIM)? (1936)
8. What countries has Walter ministered in? (China, India, Canada, USA, Philippines, Malaysia, the UK, Japan, and Chile)
9. Where did Walter meet his wife Helen? (in China at dinner in an CIM guest house)
10. What next event does Walter Jespersen look forward to? (going to heaven!)
