A Wonderful week of meetings.

Abigail has been a great help to us on deputation. She waves at everybody. She loves reaching her hands out to everybody and she is our little missionary. She catches people's attention very quickly. She made many friends this last week at Family week with World Wide New Testament Baptist Mission.
This last week of meetings with World Wide New Testament Baptist Missions was wonderful. We feel so refreshed as we heard many wonderful messages and beautiful music. We are so blessed to be a part of our mission. The stand they take is doctrinally sound and they are extremely local church minded. So thankful for their approach to missions. We also were able to visit another missions conference, pastor's fellowship, and two different meetings on Sunday. The week started in North Carolina and ended with a meeting in Virginia. The church in Virginia took us on for support right after we shared our burden for Japan. We were so excited. April could not help but cry for joy. The last couple of weeks we have had 3 churches take us on, and we are at 37% of our support now.
Please keep praying that our support will come in quickly so we can get to Japan soon so Michael can start language school and so we can help Pastor and Mrs. Rich with Faith Baptist Church.

I remember those days of deputation ministry with fond memories! Praise the Lord for the ministry He has for you now and the preparation it is for the future too.

I'm glad to hear Abigail is such a friendly baby. Our girls were for the most part, but they both went through clingy phases and well, to be real, downright unfriendly stages too -- it seems they would sometimes get people overwhelmed. Sigh... I'll never forget one time when a pastor greeted Kayla who was in Dan's arms and touched her and she pulled away from his touch and growled at him. Fortunately, he was very gracious. Oh my! What memories from both a family and ministry standpoint.
