More from SD!

Time keeps on flying by! Sorry I haven't posted anything in a while!

My time here in SD has continued to go well! The meetings I've had have gone really well - the fellowship has been wonderful :)

The weather hasn't been too bad- with the exception of a storm a week ago yesterday. I was down in White, SD (an especially appropriate town name this time of year!), but the services were cancelled due to the snow and severe wind. When it's windy out here, it may as well be a blizzard! It causes lots of drifting and it's hard to see when traveling. I was just thankful to be able to travel on that Monday - for a while there the interstate/highways were closed. But once I was able to hit the road, I was able to make it through safely! I was also able to reschedule the meeting for later on in March. Lord willing, the weather will be better this next time around!

In contrast to a week ago, this past weekend was beautiful :) I didn't even wear my coat some of the time - it was at least 30 degrees and sunny :) Heat wave! Good traveling weather!

I've also really enjoyed spending time with my friends here in Redfield! It's been a blessing being able to stay here with them! We've had lots of fun :) And I've still managed to get lots done!

If you think of it, please pray for me this coming weekend as I'll be heading west, Lord willing, to the other side of SD! I have a couple meetings lined up for Sunday as well as Wednesday night. Pray that the weather will be clear and the roads will be good!

Thanks!

Winter in SD

I have been enjoying my time in SD this winter :) I love the snow - and there certainly is a lot of it! I've had to drive in some snow storms, but thankfully the Lord has brought me safely through them! And praise the Lord my car has been doing really well so far :)

I had a full day this past Sunday as I was in a church in Elkton for the morning/afternoon services and then in Brookings for the evening service. All the services went well - I had a great time with the people in both churches :)
I also realized that I had been to the church in Brookings while on a band tour in college!

On Monday I headed up here to the Aberdeen area. I've been staying with a friend of mine from college - got to give my presentation in her church tonight!
We've had a fun couple of days :) Got to shovel lots of snow! It's been an adventure :) I love it! I love the cold - it's refreshing!

Tomorrow morning, Lord willing, I'll be driving down to another friends house for a couple of days before my next meeting this weekend!

Please keep praying for continued great meetings and safety on the roads/in the weather! I'll try to take some pics to post next time around!

Ministry in Madison, New Support, SD trip

Please pray for me tomorrow as, Lord willing, I'll be heading out toward SD! I'll be going as far as MN on tomorrow's trip (stopping to see a friend), and then on Saturday I'll be going the rest of the way. Please pray for good weather, good roads, and good car performance :)
I'll be in SD until April - presenting Sweden in 11 different churches during the next 2 months.

Also, thank you to those who were praying for the ministry we've been able to have with the homeless in Madison! A couple of friends and I were able to go over yesterday and hand out lunches on State St./in the Capitol basement. We had a handful of Bibles to give away as well, and we had around 4 different people coming up asking specifically for the Bibles! Praise the Lord! Please pray that souls would be saved!

Also, praise the Lord that I was just contacted by another church who has decided to take me on for support! That puts me up to 62%! Only 38% to go! Please pray that I might be able to get to Sweden by the end of the year!

Well, that's about it for the time being! Have a great day!
