I remember as a counselor at the Wilds hearing the skit song, ''We've been everywhere man, crossed the desert (something) man...'' I didn't realise then that it was written by a missionary family. (Tongue firmly in cheek.) God has kept us safe over the many miles of travel, but we do feel like we have been everywhere!
Sunday morning found us in Superior, Wisconsin. On the way up we saw a bull moose in a snow covered field. On the way South the boys saw a wolf coming out of the woods by the roadway. What a blessing it was to be with a smaller supporting church and get to hear their Easter music on Sunday AM. In the Sunday PM we were in a city with two supporting churches and the sister church pastor's family joined us for the meeting. They also had the service at 7PM to allow for us to drive just over four hours that afternoon to get there.
In family news, last week Parker took his written driver's test in Hudson, Wi. Yesterday, he took the actual driving test in La Crosse, WI. Praise the Lord, he passed both tests and got his driver's license. We were only in Wisconsin for 9 days and he wouldn't have had a second chance if he failed. (Life can be pretty interesting as an MK.)
Wednesday night we enjoyed a meeting in Sauk City, WI before heading on to Mendota, IL. This morning I enjoyed speaking at chapel at a supporting church in La Salle. We stopped and saw another supporting church pastor in the area as well. God's really blessed our travels and our connectivity. We're thankful for each opportunity to connect with our churches.
Tomorrow and Saturday, Katie will be doing a workshop session at an area ladies' meeeting. Sunday morning we are in Chicago and Sunday night in Georgetown, Illinois. Monday is the semi-annual meeting of BWM in Indianapolis. We're looking forward to speaking with some of the board members and other missionaries.
Thank you for praying for us. We've traveled in very heavy rain, winds and snow in the last week and God continues to keep us safe. We also continue to have the energy we need for a demanding schedule. God's good to answer your prayers!
