Sunshine and Rainshowers

You know what they say, "April showers bring May flowers!" Well, I am looking forward to those flowers :) It has rained quite a bit the past few days - kind of dreary out, but at least not too cold!

But I can't complain. It was really nice out the last several days of last week - sunny and warm, even got over 70 degrees on Saturday! I certainly enjoyed being outside :) Tommy (my cousin) and I got to do some bike riding - we also played at the park and even did some basketball! It was a lot of fun (even if he did keep beating me at tag!).

And one of the afternoons that Tommy was in school, I got to go on a long bike ride - rode along a river trail and spent some great quiet time with God! Unfortunately I did manage to get some sunburn out of it - I was enjoying the sunshine so much I didn't even think about that :)

But I had a great week with Tommy - it was hard to say goodbye. He kept asking me to change my schedule and stay with him! He is really very sweet :) I enjoyed being "mom" for a few days with him.

I had a great weekend in Nappanee, IN. I had visited the church last year and was able to present Sweden there this year! I even got to stay with the same people I stayed with last time :) I had a good time visiting/fellowshipping with them.

Now I am in OH visiting a friend of mine from MBBC. She works in one of the offices at Baptist Mid-Missions, so I am actually there at the moment :) I'll be heading out tomorrow, Lord willing, heading over to Pittsburgh, PA. Please pray for some nicer traveling weather :)
