What I love about Sundays!










Sunday was a very busy day, I was up at sunrise fixing my dish for the dinner, off to SS (on time) , had good messages both in SS & church. Great dinner we gotta have the best cooks at Grace. We met with missionary couple from WOL and discussed some ideas for making Olympians more efficient for all involved and I am so thankful for this opportunity to meet but also to serve to Lord in this area. Our first night we had 15, Sunday we had 17. We have an exciting year planned I can't wait!!!!I am so thankful for the willingness and help of all involved, Grace, Brian, Amy, Linda, Betty & Patty also for the donation. I want to see this grow and reach out to other kids in our community through our program and to their families through them. I miss Ethan being in there he is in WOL now wow how time flies!!!My girls loved playing with the Kingbury kids but Charlee especially connected with Leah. Leah couldn't stop giving hugs & kisses to her at the before they went home. The jalopy raid was great too many of Ethan's friends came there was 8 or 9 who accepted Christ WOW!!!!!! I am so thankful for the willingness of all who participated in this event & made it possible. I was really blessed Sunday with everything but I am so thankful for how the Lord works in mysterious ways unknown to us & then when we least expect something right there it is before us and it's like "He did this, it's amazing!" I pray that all of those kids return for WOL in the weeks to come but most importantly I pray God will continue to work in their lives & I pray that this will encourage our WOLer's and they in turn will be an encouragement to these kids. The schools need soooooo much more of this!!!!!!! Praise the Lord for a great jalopy raid turnout & I pray it don't stop here.

I know that you miss having Ethan in Olympians but we enjoy him being a teenager! Keep praying for the kids from the jalopy raid, I was very encouraged by the turnout! It is great to have parents praying for us!!

I just can't believe that Ethan is a Word of Lifer!! He's still supposed to be in 1st or 2nd grade. I remember him and some of the other kids that age when I had them in 1st and 2nd grade. They were a hoot!! He's a great young man, Sherry. You should be very proud of him. You're doing a great job in Olympians too--please let me know if you ever need help! Hope this weekend is going well.
