New Computer!
I'm about ready to jump out of my skin! I am writing this to you from my new laptop! This little thing is a beauty and I can't wait to try everything out! Oh, I can't tell you how excited I am! I plan to put it work right away and get some prayer cards finished as well as a letter and a few other things. I'll probably sleep with it actually :)
On Saturday I went to a wedding of a friend of mine and then drove to Dix, Nebraska. I actually lived in Dix at one time and I love spending time there. It's like being with family! Their faithfulness and love for the Lord is an encouragement to me. I was able to share with them Sunday morning and then share with Bible Baptist in Scottsbluff. Of course the people in Scottsbluff are also very special to me and it was great to see them again.
This coming weekend I will be working my way east and sharing at a couple of churches on the way out and on the way back. On the in-between days I will spending some time with family and friends who I probably won't get to see for a while. Please pray for safety! I think sometimes I take for granted the safety that the Lord gives.
I also have a praise! I am up to about 50% of what I need in order to be able to go to Chile in July. It is so exciting to see how the Lord provides. The other night I got a call from a Pastor friend of mine who told me that his church had already voted on and decided to support me before I had even been to the church. I was totally blown away and sooo grateful!
Thank you for all of your prayers! You are a blessing to me!

It's June Already!!!
Hmm... where to start? I made it back home safe and sound on Memorial Day. I was a little on the tired side, but so glad to be home again. My sister was here for a few days with her kids and thankfully I was able to some good quality time with them.
Over all, choir tour went very well. We had lots of rain while driving back, but the Lord granted us safety. I'm so thankful for everyone who was able to be there.
OK... so I was able to go speak at Liberty Baptist Church in Casper this last Sunday. I really love the people there and was happy to see them again. This was the first Sunday that I have been able to share with a church what the Lord is doing in my life and in Chile. I was a little... ok... a lot nervous. I did learn a little about some things that I might do different next time, but things went pretty well. The people at Liberty were very gracious. Anyway, I am looking forward to going to some more churches and sharing with them. My next project over the next few days/week is to get a prayer card finished and other things like that. Please pray for me as talk with other pastors and arrange to go talk with more churches. Thanks so much for your prayers!

Last days!
Here we are... Des Moines Iowa. Right now we are hanging out in a hotel room. We were not able to schedule a concert for this evening so we have a free night. It's actually very nice and I'm anticipating getting lots of sleep!
This choir tour has been really good for me. The Lord has taught me a couple of things and I'm really thankful for that. Basically it just comes down to examining myself as to whether or not the things that I say/sing reflect the things that are in my heart. Cause... "out of the abudance of the heart, the mouth speaks."
So, tomorrow... we have another long drive to Brokenbow, NE where we will spend the night and sing Sunday morning. Then our final concert will be in Dix on Sunday evening. It's sad to see it all come to an end. We actually left one member of our group in Indiana this morning. Thankfully though, each of us knows that though we may be saying good bye now... we will for sure see each other once again in heaven.
Please pray for the choir... for endurance... patience... love for one another... devotional time... Thanks so much!!!

A Random Day!
The past couple of days we seem to have some extra time on our hands, so "random" has kind of become the theme. We are currently meandering about the state of Michigan. We can now record seeing Lake Superior, Michigan, and Erie. It's been pretty cool. We pretty much spent most of the afternoon running around on the playground equipment at a park. Mainly we played some good old tag... it was great!
I just want to share with you a burden that the Lord has placed on my heart recently. There is a little girl in my church in Sheridan who has a brain tumor. I'm not totally sure of all the details, but she is only 4 and the cancer could be terminal. She is currently in Denver. Please pray for her! You can check out some information on her if you log in to carepages.com., and look for the page entitled "Miss Aubry".
Praise! I have my first meeting for Chile scheduled. I will be sharing with a church in Casper a week from Sunday. I'm pretty excited about it, because it's a group of people that I know and love.

Half way through!
Hello all!
We are officially half way through our tour now. Tonight we sang in a little church in Wilmington, IL. Things have been a little on the up and down lately... simply because we have had people not feeling well off and on. You could specifically pray for Sharon. She hasn't been feeling well since we left and hasn't sung or played bells with us the past couple of concerts. Thankfully Jenna was able to step into the bells position and the Lord was gracious. Many are beginning to grow weary and it's hard to keep things "fresh". We are continually blessed and encouraged by the hospitality of those that we are here to minister to. Thanks so much for your prayers!
OK... so today was some pretty intense driving! I got some pretty good driving time with the trailer van today... Woo HOO! I'm pretty pumped about that. I am even envisioning myself driving... well at least trying to drive... a Semi trailer someday. Not for a living, mind you... just for a fun experience.

First night - in Iowa
So, my day began a little before 5 this morning and by 6:30 we were flying down the road - coffee in hand of course! Actually it took me about 20 minutes to find everything needed to make the coffee, but alas, it all came together.
After many hours on the road and a time change, our first concert of choir tour is completed. There were quite a few people who came to the concert and it was a big encouragement. The acoustics in the room were Great!! I wasn't sure how many times I might actually get to use the internet while we are gone, so I thought I'd post real quick... Looking forward to the rest of tour!
