Back to Wisconsin

Just wanted to let everyone know that I made it home safely to Watertown last night! I was "racing" ahead of a blizzard warning that was put in effect especially for Northwestern MN (where I was yesterday morning!). Today they are supposed to get up to around 11-13 inches of snow. Praise God that I was able to leave before it hit! That would not be fun for traveling.
But driving yesterday, you would have no idea that a blizzard was coming - the sky was blue and it wasn't all that cold (pretty nice, actually - and sunny)! It was a beautiful day for driving :)

I had an absolutely WONDERFUL month and a half of meetings in MN! All the services went well - and I was able to serve in a number of different ways! My saxophones got put to good use this past month as I was able to help a couple of friends with their respective band programs (working with the sax students). I absolutely loved that opportunity! I also had opportunities to speak to kids in various schools about Sweden! I always enjoy that!

I'll be home for a few more days, then I'll be heading down to Peoria, IL for a meeting on Sunday. From there I'll actually be heading back to St. Cloud, MN! I had a meeting scheduled in the church there for this coming fall, but they wanted to know if I could come take part in their missions conference - so I'm going next week :) Can't turn down that opportunity!

So for the rest week, I'll just be working on things here at home - making some phone calls, doing some paper work, getting my update out, finishing some music I've been working on, etc. And then this Friday I also have the opportunity to judge for the Sr. High WACS (WI Association of Christian Schools) competition which is actually held at my home church. I'll be judging for small vocal ensembles. That should be fun :)

Thanks again for your prayers!
Rejoice in the Lord..........Always!
