It is a beautiful sunny morning here in MN! Not exactly warm (I think it’s about 5 degrees), but it is nice to see the sun shining through :)
The other day we got about 10 inches of snow or so! It sure is beautiful outside – a regular winter wonderland! I’m just thankful I didn’t have to travel during the snow storm!
I’ll be leaving my current location later today and heading over to Fridley (Woodcrest Baptist Church) for several days. Woodcrest is a supporting church of mine.
The time is sure flying by! It is hard to believe we have reached the very end of February! My time in MN is almost up (for now anyway!). Lord willing, I will be heading back toward WI a week from this coming Monday.
And then the BIG NEWS: I am also so excited that I have finally hit past the 50% mark in my support!!!! I am now at 50.3% :) Praise the Lord for His wonderful provision!
Hope you all have a wonderful day in the Lord!

More from Minnesota
I just finished a wonderful weekend over in Inver Grove Heights, MN! The services Sunday went well and I had the opportunity to participate in several different areas of ministry. I really enjoyed my time with the folks there!
Today I decided to visit the Mall of America and Ikea :) I had never been to the Mall of America before, and it is just amazing how big it is! So many stores! Believe it or not, though, I somehow managed to walk the mall without actually buying anything! And thankfully, I remembered where I parked my car :)
From the mall I hopped over to Ikea (which is right next door!) and walked around there for a little while. I picked up a few Swedish groceries and enjoyed some delicious lingonberry juice :) The lady at the checkout was even from Sweden!
Weather-wise, it's feeling more like winter around here - the temperature has been colder and we got several inches of snow last week! I'm just grateful that it hasn't caused any problems with traveling :)
Well, that's about it for now! I hope you all have a great week!

Minnesota Update
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!

And I'm Off!
Well, my drive to MN on Saturday went really well - basically uneventful (which is a good thing!). The weather was certainly terrific (got up to around 45 degrees! A real heat wave!)
I am in Sauk Centre at the moment. I gave my testimony/presentation at Faith Baptist Church here in town yesterday. I was also able to teach the Jr./Sr. High girls Sunday School class, do an object lesson for the kids in the evening service, and play both my soprano and tenor saxophones. I enjoyed the opportunities to minister!
I'll be here until tomorrow afternoon, then I'll be heading over to Fergus Falls, MN. I'll be there through Friday, presenting my ministry at Woodlawn Baptist Church during the Wednesday evening service.
As always, thanks for your prayers! May the Lord bless you as you serve Him today!
O, and one more thing - an exciting praise! Another church just contacted me concerning support, so I'm now up to 45.2% ! Praise the Lord!
