Today we ministered at Prairie Baptist Fellowship in Yelm Washington. Their church is a mission church. It was started just over 5 years ago. Now they are running about 80-90 people on Sunday mornings. Their pastor is Phil Perry. We were both at Northwest Baptist Seminary at the same time and had several classes together. He and his wife, Brenda, have 3 little girls, about the same ages as our three children. The Church recently hired a part time youth pastor. His name is Matthew Richey. Matthew is currently going to Northwest Baptist Seminary. He also works with me in my painting business when he is not studying for his classes or doing youth ministry.
We had a great time at Prairie Baptist Fellowship. Christina was getting a little cold, so her voice wasn’t too strong, but she made it through our presentation. I think I am probably getting the same cold. I woke up this morning and my throat didn’t feel that great. Somehow the Lord always gives us the strength we need to do want He wants. We praise the Lord that we were able to get through both services without loosing our voices.

February 21, 2006I did not know that you had a web site or I would have left a note sooner. It was a joy to have you with us for a Sunday. I hope that you can come back again. I admire very much those who go to foreign lands to do the Lord,s work. It takes alot of faith and courage. I spent a year in Korea while I was in the Army. I suffered culture shock for awhile when I first arrived and I was not living in the natural enviornment, but on a base eating American food. I did get out into the countryside some and foung the people friendly and their food different, but good. I pray that you have recovered from your colds and that all is going well.
