Good morning and Happy Week-end! I wanted to write a little about last night's dessert night.
It was just as God wanted it to be. We were honored to have the Pastor's Wife, Nancy, from Mike & Cindy's church come and talk with us. She asked many questions and was very interested. She told us that her husband, Lou, was out of town but really wanted her to come and talk with us. They just finished the Perspective's Class and are eager to get involved in Missions. They only want to support missionaries who have a connection with their body. She was excited to see that we were related to Cindy & Mike. She asked how long we were going to be here because their next missions meeting is March 8th. We told her what we were doing with traveling and all and she asked if we had any extra video's that we could leave with Mike & Cindy and if they could & would stand in for us and give the Mission's team a presentation on our behalf and then if the team wanted to meet with us personally if Scott would consider coming back. Scott said absolutely!! Mike and Cindy said, "what have we gotten ourselves into? ha ha" but agreed to do it. Nancy said that she really wanted the team to hear our story and be able to decide, she liked what she had heard. She said she thought it was really great! Their church is newer, about 2 years old and has 2 services of about 250-350 each. They are a non-denom./community church. (sound familiar??) They have formed a missions team to hold them accountable and help pray through things. (again, familiar?) We told her that was how our church worked and that we totally understood. We found that it was a very positive meeting and was at peace about the whole evening. Cindy kept feeling bad that more didn't come, but I told her that our prayer team and us had prayed for this trip and that God was in total control and we were not worried about it. She said she appreciated our calmness and understanding. Since they have only been going to the church since Dec., they really don't know many people yet. We told them that we would come back in a year and do it again. ha ha :-)

So, we are excited about our stop in Maryland and what the Lord is up to here. Today we are getting ready to pack up and move on to NC. Jeremiah is doing better, we think he just got too hot playing with his cousins and in a room with a wood stove that was being burned. Nathaniel is still croupy coughing. He is kind of loosing his voice, it sounds raspy.

We are doing great and appreciate your prayers!! TTFN (Ta Ta For Now) as they say,

God bless,
Lela and crew
