WOW

I can't believe how long it's been since I've written. It's been over two months. OK...to catch everyone up on my life......Thanksgiving was good. Christmas was good...It was nice to spend time with Christy for Christmas!!!
Now, Missions Conference this year was a real blessing. We (our family) always gets to eat dinner with the missionaries. Mondays and Wednesdays are fun night for me. I'm always rushing to make it there on time and get something for supper. This year, my good friend Nicole invited me to eat dinner with her and her kids....or was it that I invited myself...LOL Anyway I ate dinner with them Monday night ans was able to get ready on time. I even got to help Lilly get dressed and made sure her makeup was just right. Little girls like Lilly have to have things like that perfect!!!
Anyway, we had some really great missionaires this week. We had the Jeremy Pitman Family to Uganda (they worked with the Guimans before Bro Guiman passed away), Sam Slobodian to Russia, Evan Williams to Honduras, Wilobough Family (I can't remember where they are going), Danny Alford Family to England, Steve Swain Familt to Bulgaria, and the McKinney family to Poland. Every weekend we have a special speaker usually a Field Director. This year Dr Bragg, Director with BIMI. To me this is my favorite time of year. I love all the special things that we do. Our International Banquet was just as good as usual. Our ladies/ men make such good food!!!
WE SURPASSED OUR GOAL!!! We had set our goal at 245,000. Sunday night our goal was set at $259,000!!!!!! Makes me so happy that the Lord is using our church to help so many missionaries get to the field. I pray that our church will always set missions as 1st!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
