R&R!

So it's been a couple weeks since I've posted an update.  Since the last blog update, the biggest news is that we've survived the Madison Baptist Church Vacation Bible School and Missions Conference 2010!  It was a great week with many souls saved and several decisions made for God.  I was able to share a testimony for the church on Monday night of the conference, and Tuesday I sang "Mexico Needs The Lord" to the tune of "People Need The Lord."  Friday night for the VBS graduation, I preached a 20 minute Gospel message.

The Lord blessed us by having us to stay with the Alan Snyder family from church.  We moved out of the Beard home on Saturday of the conference, and stayed with the Snyder's all week long.  We learned a lot from them about raising children and we're thankful we had the opportunity to be there.  We also started a new plan with Ashley--only nursing her at night before bed, and then I would take her for the entire night so she wouldn't wake Erika up.  It worked very well, and we are continuing to discipline her to sleep through the night.  Along with that, we are keeping her on a strict nap schedule during the day, which is somehow making her sleep better at night.  Praise The Lord for wisdom in raising her.

Also throughout the week, we were able to book 10 meetings.  Alan and I made a deal that I would pray for his business and he would pray for our meetings and support.  God has been so good to us.  Some of the meetings were put right in front of us in such a way that only God could have done put them together.

We moved out of the Snyder house on Sunday afternoon, since we had a meeting near their house on Sunday morning.  We had a meeting a few hours away on Sunday night, so just went straight there from the Snyder's, and went to the Beard's late Sunday night.

Today has been a rest and recovery day.  We slept in, then I got busy on the phone until about 5:00.  I was able to book 2 more meetings!

We still have more white on the calendar and need a bunch more meetings.  We are praying that we will be able to book some while we are at a couple different camp meetings starting this Saturday and next Wednesday.

I've also nearly completed planning for our trip to Washington state.  I desperately need at least 3 more meetings to make the trip almost breaking even.

The rest of the week will be spent on the phone, even though I'm at a point where I need to decide where to try to book meetings next.  Prayerfully I'll know by tomorrow after I finish making some follow-up calls.
