Time Flies

Wow--it's been almost 10 days since I blogged! We flew to Kansas City on August 17. The best thing about being there was spending time with family and friends. Of course, we also ate at many, if not all, of our favorite restaurants. It's a good thing I'm not counting calories!

Besides eating and visiting, we also had various appointments--annual physicals, teeth cleaning, eye exam, hair cut, etc. Stephen was able to play golf with his three brothers--a mini family reunion on the course.

We were able to share our ministry with Jim and Jan Perry at breakfast on Saturday morning. Jim is the chairman of the Mission's Team at Abundant Life. We also shared in the Kingdom Seeker's class on Sunday morning. Sunday afternoon Stephen drove to Marshall to attend the evening service at First Baptist Church, Marshall, where his brother, Michael, is the pastor. Stephen sang two songs, shared our slide presentation, talked about our ministry and then answered questions from the congregation. I'm so proud of him because the talking part is definitely a stretch for him.

On Wednesday we flew back to California in time to have a quick dinner with Daniel, Shannon, Maleia and Josiah. I was able to read two bedtime stories to Maleia so it was a great night.
