Our busy month

This month has been crazy for us. It started just before I left for the states to attend my brother's wedding and it is all starting to wind down now.

This month we had our church come and stay for two weeks. They helped in tract distribution, VBS (they brought everything with them, which was great!!), and programs in Public Schools. We had a great time. We were able to see over 100 kids accept Jesus into their hearts as their personal Saviour. We ran ourselves ragged, but it was a time that God really touched people's hearts. It was very special to see Bernadette (one of the group that worked with us) make such an attachement to Carmen (one of the ladies in our church). The Lord really bound their hearts together. Carmen even came to the airport to see them off. She found someone who lives near her that speaks English to write a letter to Bernadette to say goodbye. I was supposed to get a copy of all of the pictures taken, but something happened when Bro. Jeff tried to copy them to my disks and so they told me that they would mail the pictures to us.

The biggest blessing while the group from our church was here was, my mom came to take care of the kids and help with housework. The kids loved it and of course we did too. Three kids can only take so much time in the hot sun without getting cranky and making Mom cranky too. Mom was able to help do the laundry for the group and this saved them much time and money. It was a huge blessing to have her here.

We are now winding down school for this year. I am probably the most excited for summer vacation. We only have two weeks and two days left, but I am already anticipating the freedom.
