Jr. High Camp 2007

It's been nearly a week, but last week I counseled at Jr. High Camp @ Iowa Regular Baptist Camp in Clear Lake, IA. There were over 420 campers, and 5 from our church in Walnut. I counseled a cabin with 9 boys, 8 of whom I had never met before last week. I had a great time--and am looking forward to my next opportunity to counsel.

Saturday, on our way back, I got word from a lady--that her father passed away, and the funeral was to be on Sunday. I agreed to do the funeral. Needless to say, it was a very full weekend. I was glad to be an encouragement to the family.

I came down with a cold Sunday Night--and still have a runny nose. Please pray that I'll get over it soon.

Fun With Audrey's Hair

We gave Audrey's hair a new twist...

and a whalespout. They didn't last long though...

The Big Announcement

Just in case you haven't heard yet, Mindy is expecting again!!! She's in her first tri-mester, and her approximate due date is in January 2008. Please pray that her pregnancy will be free of complications and that God will be glorified.

She has no morning sickness, but is quite tired in the mornings especially.

Saturday Night Concert

Saturday Night, June 16, our church hosted "Sounds of Faith" from Faith Baptist Church in Carroll, IA. We had a wonderful time together. There was free ice cream afterwards.

Our town has an antique festival each Father's Day weekend, literally thousands of people come and visit our little town and go "antiquing."

It's been a busy weekend, but I'm glad that it's over.

A Fantastic VBS

We had between 47 and 55 each day this week for VBS, and 83 at the closing program. We had 13 salvation decisions this week, 11 of them are pictured. Yes, there are 12 kids in the picture, but the little boy on the far right told me today that he didn't understand what he did yesterday. We'll keep praying for Jesse.

God did some amazing things, He's a great God.

This week in the offering, the kids gave nearly $460 as a weekly total.

Praise the Lord!

Cutie Pie

Here's a picture of Audrey just
because she's so cute. :)

A Wonderful Mother's Day

It was a great Mother's Day, as my Mom, 2 Sisters and Grandma all came down to Walnut Sunday, May 13th! We had dinner (Grandma's lasagna, mmm!) at the parsonage, took naps and went antiqueing (?) around town. They ended up leaving around 4ish.

Thank you all for coming.
