Update and Pictures

My recent meetings have gone very well! On Sunday, I finished up a mission's conference at Ambassador Baptist Church in Pittsburgh. It was a great weekend of meetings!

I spent Memorial Day with family in Leechburg (Pittsburgh vacinity). It was a beautiful day - and a great time with family I haven't seen in a while! My cousins kept me plenty busy :) I enjoyed every minute!

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!

Great Meetings - and New Support!

I praise the Lord for a great conference down in McKeesport, PA this past weekend! I had a great time of fellowship with the folks there :) The services were wonderful - and the messages really spoke to my heart.
While I was there, the church voted to take all the missionaries represented at the conference on for support -bringing my support level up to 58.2%! I am rejoicing in the Lord's provision!

Now I am back at my uncle's home. I am watching the boys for the week while both my aunt and uncle are away. I'm looking forward to spending time with them! I think we're going to have a great time :)

It also looks like I may be substitute teaching in a Christian school this coming Thursday (3rd grade). That will be a new experience - but I'm looking forward to it!

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