BITTER SWEET

Now we are getting the ball rolling. Seems like it has taken forever, but God's timing is always perfect. We have been at Lakeview Baptist for 8 months now. I can't believe it's been that long. Jon has been filling in until they called a full-time pastor. Well, they have voted on a new pastor and he will start the first Sunday in April. We have just fell in love with the people and are going to miss them, but we are so excited to get on the road with our missions and deputation. This Sunday will be our last Sunday there. I am sure there will be lots of tears in my end. Jon Caden has a few he's gonna miss too.. lol We have all kinds of things lined up in April. We will be busy busy. We leave out on the 4th for our Mission training in Spencer, Ohio. I will keep everyone update on it. When you think about us say a little prayer please!

Bible Conference and sickness

This past week we were in at Beryl Baptist in Vilonia, Arkansas at a Bible Conference. We really enjoyed ourselves. The people of the church were so hospitable and friendly. There was a lot of hard work and preparation put into this conference. We are so thankful for the time to get away and be apart of the conference. We heard some great preaching and wonderful singing. We also had time to spend with some friends. Which was truly a blessing, especially for me? The devil was really fighting the conference well, he was fighting us. We had an ordeal with getting our prayer cards which it worked out. Our presentation is still a work in progress, but it fell apart the morning that we took it to set up. Then on top of all of that Jon Caden started getting sick Friday. We took him to a pediatrician there in Conway. Then Jon got really sick Saturday night. We intended to stay until Sunday night, but we had to leave right after the morning services. We took a different route than we were used to coming home and got really lost. I was driving so yes it was my fault. We finally did make it home safely. Jon Caden is better. Jon is hopefully getting a little better and now I am getting it. Although, everything went wrong we had a great time. We have a few churches that we are going to go to this month. Jon is currently still interim at Lakeview Baptist. They are voting on a man on the 15. If he is voted in and accepts then we will really be hitting the road on deputation. We are really busy the whole month of April. Hopefully these next trips will go a little smoother than this one. At least it’s one that want be forgotten.
