Well, we survived our winter schedule! We're currently in the midst of a two week break from speaking, and it could not have come at a better time. Most pastors are incredibly busy this week preparing for and leading Maundy Thursday, Good Friday, and Easter Sunday services, while we simply get to participate in those worship services. The weekend of March 8-9, though, we were busier than a mosquito in a nudist colony (thanks to Jim Ehrman for that analogy)! We were with Grace E.C. Church in Kutztown most of the weekend, having 4 formal opportunities to speak about Spain. Then on Sunday afternoon, after our bellies were full from Grace's potluck and our bodies tired from sleep deprivation and speaking, we went to Seibert E.C. in Allentown to share in a late afternoon missions meeting. It was all great--we were well received, people were inquisitive and encouraging, and the churches are part of our support team; but it was a full weekend, which has made us very grateful for these couple weeks off!
Above is a picture of us with our friends, David and Conce Roof with their son Andrew. They are E.C. missionaries with OMS in Brazil and, after a longer than expected furlough, are preparing to return very soon. They were our neighbors for about a year, and we both had the opportunity to share at the Kutztown Sunday morning worship services on March 9. That's all for now--ADios!
