More from PA












I had a great week watching my cousins - they were on their best behavior for me :)

And the week sure did fly by - as we were certainly kept busy with baseball games, school concerts, school itself, visits with friends, house showings, etc. I certainly got the full "mother" experience - complete with a sick child for an evening (a direct result of eating too much pizza)! But I enjoyed my time with them very much - good memories and experiences! I would certainly do it again :)

I even was able to try my hand at substitute teaching - which went really well! I had the 3rd grade primarily, but also had 4th for a few classes. The kids were great - and they helped out a lot! Ahhh - the things one can learn on deputation!

I drove out to eastern PA this past weekend for a meeting in New Freedom on Sunday. The church there is actually a supporting church for the Deliches, one of the families I'll be working with in Sweden! I had a wonderful time there :) It was a mission's emphasis Sunday, so there was also another missionary family visiting for the morning - the Murrays to Zambia. I enjoyed being able to meet them as well!

On Wed., Lord willing, I'll be driving out to Howard, PA. After that I have meetings in Erie, Butler, and a conference in Pittsburgh.
Please keep these meetings in prayer!

Well, that's all for now! Have a great day!

“To be a missionary you don't have to cross the sea, you just have to see the cross."

When the Rains Descend

When the Rains Descend
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.

When the Rains Descend is a collection of poems written to be an encouragement to you as you face the downpours of life. May you rest in the Lord and grow closer to Him day by day.
