During one of the sessions he was able to present our work in the Philippines. We're so grateful for the opportunity to share what the Lord is doing in that part of His vineyard.

Slidell, Louisiana

Hi ya'll! We're here in Slidell, Louisiana visiting Heritage Bible Church until the 21st of May. We've so much enjoyed our time here getting to know the brethren. We're staying with the Roys and have experienced such wonderful southern hospitality. Last Saturday the church had a crawfish boil picnic and it was an experience! (See photo)

Nathaniel left this morning (May 18th) to attend the annual FIRE conference. The kids and I are staying with the Roys until we leave on Thursday, 21st, to go back to Michigan.

We hope to be in Bremen, Indiana on Saturday, May 23rd until the first week of June. We are visiting one of our supporting church, Grace Fellowship Church. We look forward to another wonderful time of fellowship with the brethren there.
