My visit here in MN has been really great! My meetings have gone well and I've greatly enjoyed the fellowship with the various church folks!
The weather has been amazingly warm for this time of year! I even could do without my winter coat for a few days as the temperature was up to around 30 degrees - one day getting up to about 40 degrees!
When I was up in Fergus Falls, I took an afternoon and drove over into North Dakota. It was a beautiful afternoon and I was able to spend some time walking in a park by the river. And then, following a much needed car wash (gotta love the salt and slush!), I spent a couple of hours in a used book store :) While I was there, I was able to talk with the lady who owns it. We had a good conversation, and I was able to share the gospel with her. She wasn't really interested, however. She believes in a "higher power" of sorts, but she does not believe in God - or that Jesus, in fact, actually lived. It was sad, really.
Right now I am in Burnsville, MN staying with a friend of mine from college! I am enjoying my time with her :) Yesterday, I was able to go and help with the band she teaches at a Christian school in the area. That was a lot of fun! I got to play all 3 of my saxophones :) Tomorrow I get to teach a lesson for her saxophone student!
Thanks for your prayers! I trust you will have a marvelous day!

Go ahead and grab your umbrella, because in life, there will be times when you journey through the storms. You see, in this world in which we live, the rains will fall. That is a guarantee. Trials will come - and they are going to come to everyone. Just because you are a Christian, don't think for a moment that life is going to be easy. There will still be pain, sorrow, and heartache. The good news, however, is that, as a Christian, you do not have to weather these storms alone. You have a solid foundation in Christ.
