We had a great time this weekend in Portersville.  We stayed in a lovely missions home and the boys enjoyed exploring it.  Steven was content as long as Mommy was close by, but Joshua kept insisting, "We don't belong here!"  The Pastor lived next door and Joshua also insisted that we were going to go and stay at his house. 

On Sunday morning Eric was able to introduce our ministry and pray for the church's missions team that was gearing up for a week long trip.  The remainder of the AM service went to a young lady who is working in a Christian school in Peru!  We were excited to meet someone who shares our love for Peru.

In the PM service we shared with the youth group (in the missions home where we were staying) and showed them our slide presentation.  Teens always have great questions for the missionary!  Then we raced down the road to the adult service and sang a family special.  Joshua tried to start the chorus twice before he was supposed to.  Eric told him to get ready to sing, and he was definitely ready!  This was the first time that Steven has sung with us.  He waited until after we were finished singing and then belted out, "Follow, Follow, I would follow Jesus!"  He continued singing as I led the boys out to the nursery!

Eric showed the presentation to the adults as well, and then preached the evening message.  We enjoyed supper with the Pastor before packing up and driving back that same night.  Our goal was to avoid the heat since our air conditioner needed to be fixed!  We praise God that we were able to get it fixed today and replace our tires before our long trip down to NC this weekend.
