Tomorrow is the big party for Hunter. His birthday and going away party. He leaves friday morning with Nikki for Angels ( she was part of thier thailand team) wedding in Missouri then on to New York. We will miss him but we know this is where he should be. The Lord has and is working out all the details.
Monday was fun. Hunter thought Nikki was coming in on Tuesday but she actually flew in Monday at 4:30. Steve and I went to New Orleans to pick her up...took her to dinner then to Cafe Dumonde then back to our house. We had to call Hunter, who was in Hattiesburg at Alyssa's house, and try to get him to come home. After some whinning he agreed to come home. She waited for him in the living room just watching tv but he never saw her. He went to his room. She finally got up and walked to his door. IT WAS GREAT! You should have seen it!
We love having her here . She is so sweet.
Other than Hunter, we are expecting our grandbaby in a week or so. Rachel should give birth to baby Gareth around the 30th of July. I will fly up there on the 25th and Steve will meet me up there later and stay for a few days then we will go to New York or a few days. Jacquelyn gets to stay at the house and pet sit for us. Lucky her!!!! Thanks Jacq! Check out the Brightbills blog for more info on the baby and them.
Steve and I are also in the planning stages for our next trip to India. We hope to go dec. 28-Jan 10th. While we are there this time we will do vbs for the orphanage, I will lead a womens conference for the "Bible Women" and Steve will lead another pasters conference. We already have a paster and his wife coming with us as well as thier teenage daughter who loves missions. She is currently in the Phillipeans this summer. ( I didnt spell that right) Celia is going to help me do the womens conference and Dale will help with the pasters. We are not going to do another large "great gospel meeting" this time though. We will however speak in the churches most days. Im hoping Alyssa and Bo will be able to go again . I know they would like to if Bo has time off from his job and Seminary and they can raise thier support for the trip.
the plans for the well and septic tank are coming along great! We sent money this week for a medical team. Local doctors are going with williams and Paul to some of the remote villages to treat those with malaria and what ever else they can help with. It is amazing to see how a little bit can go such a long way over there. They will also be handing out Bibles in thier lanquage to the people . Williams would like for us to help him come up with a name for this ministry in India. any suggestions?????
If any of you are interested in going with us this winter just write a comment or contact either Steve or I . Remember you will need time to get your shots and visa's and raise your support. we can give you all the details. We especially need help with vbs right now.
Well thats all I can think of.....I think I have caught ya'll up on whats going on here....how about you?
