Today was a long day. It started at 5:00 AM and I’m just going to bed. It’s good to be back in Missouri after Sharon ran a race this morning in Novi, Michigan called "Flirt with Dirt". She did really well, finishing fourth in her age bracket despite the rain, mud, and hilly trails.
Thank-you to those who prayed for safety during our trip. We arrived here safely for a missionary conference. We will be back in Michigan next week.
Ever take time off work for a vacation that didn’t end up being a vacation at all? That’s how Sharon and I feel this next week may go. Here are a few of the things we’re doing next week and some ways you can pray for us as we do them!
Saturday: Race and Travel
Tomorrow, June 13th, we will head to the Eastern part of Michigan for Sharon’s race and then drive all the way down to Camdenton, Missouri when it’s over. Please pray for safety as we go.
Sunday: Preaching
Sunday I’ve been asked to preach at our baptist church in Missouri. I’m going to speak on Philippians 1, just thanking the church for the encouragement they’ve been to us. Please pray for my preparations today and tomorrow.
Monday – Friday: Conference and Photography
I will be snapping pictures of a conference at the Missionary Training Center and putting together a slideshow the missionaries will take home afterward. It will be a lot of work but the conference will be very beneficial and encouraging as well.
Saturday: Six Flags over Missouri!
My parents are treating us to a trip to Six Flags after the conference. It will be the first time in our marriage that Sharon and I go to a theme park together. Exciting.
Sunday: Driving Back to Michigan
One of the many reasons we’re going to Missouri is to get the rest of the things we left there. We’ll have all that stuff packed in the back of our car on the way home. Again, please pray for safety.
Thank-you for taking the time to see what our week will hold. Thank-you for your prayers on our behalf. Thank-you for your continuing comittment to see people in Cambodia reached with the gospel. God bless.
