Almost There

Greeting,
Ross was able to preach this last week at Johnsons Corner Christian Academy, he attended school here till he was a sophomore in high school. He also preached in a chapel at Trinity Christian School again the same day. We love to be able to speak with the youth group age kids. This really sparks our fire. We both love to be able to preach and this age group really has a special place in our hearts. We also spoke in Beach, ND at a church this last Sunday. We felt welcomed with opened arms from so many people that we didn't even know. They even had a pot luck lunch for us. You would have thought that they were our home church how well they treated us. Ross's great cousin and her husband invited us to stay at there home just out side of town. It was a very beautiful place and it was very restful to us all. We where also able to run into our favorite pastors (Carl and Dianna Bauman) at Wal-Mart this week. They are substituting for the First Assembly of God in Minot ND for three months. We are going down this week and also this Sunday to visit and listen to Pastor Carl preach. Pastor Carl was a huge foundational block in my walk with the Lord. He took the time to invest in a broken hearted young woman and I will always be eternally grateful for him. He could have just pasted me on to the youth pastor because he was to busy but he didn't he took the time to listen and teach me the ways of the Lord. Thanks Pastor Carl. We are starting to think about packing this week. Four bags sure don't take long to pack though. At lease our apartment is REALLY small, we won't feel like we over packed. HAHA Part of our class is now officially in Batam, Indonesia. They all flew out on Friday. The other half of our class is on Bethany's campus now because of all the war going on in Kenya. They will fly out as soon a it is remotely safe for them to land in the country. If you haven't been flowing this news you should check it out on the Internet. Many Christian brothers and sisters have been killed over there because of there faith in God. We are very blessed to live in a free country. Though this will not always be a true statement. Americas time is coming soon for our freedom of religion to be no more. The Christians will soon be considered the extremist terrorist. Please be in prayer for our country. Will write again soon.
