Our Tour Begins...February 22nd

Hi guys,
So far we have had a great trip. We spoke last night in Akron, OH and it went really well. The people really interacted and asked a lot of questions. They took an offering for us and really blessed us. It was great to see a lot of old friends again. We stayed with the pastor and his wife, Jim & Myrna Ellis, who has been the pastor for 31 years and is now in the process of retiring. Scott will fill you in on the great legacy being left by this couple at our next meeting. The Ellis' have watched me grow up and as I was leaving his home this morning, he looked me in the eyes with tears and said, "I am very proud of you and what your doing. Don't be afraid to dream!!" That means so much to me!

Today, on our way to Maryland, Scott received a phone call from Mack & Mary Lu's friend. He is blessing Scott with tools that he will be needing. Scott and Mark will be meeting when we return home.

We made it to Maryland safe and sound. All of the kids are excited to see their cousins again and Scott's sister, Cindy, had dinner waiting for us. It was very tasty. We are off to make smores in their fireplace right now, so I will sign off for the moment. Thank you for your prayers!!! We really appreciate you all!!

Blessings,
Lela and Scott along with the boyz~ :-)
