Thanks for praying for us this week. Harvestfest is almost over. 3 services at church tomorrow and then we really are officially done with missions conference. Oh my goodness…It has been a looong week! I know I am exhausted when I go to bed without washing my face and changing into my PJs –and I think I did that three times this week. I literally fell into bed–one night with my jacket on.

But it was a great week. So great that Rodd and I know that our 3 months out here were a gift to us…if only for the 3 mornings of meetings we had with a great, wise couple that shared with our group. We spent all week with the same group of missionaries and so we made some new special friends. Yesterday morning we ladies had an amazing brunch together.

Rodd’s mom stayed with us a few nights and helped keep things on the home front under control– keeping up with piles of laundry and straightening up the house. I’m thrilled I won’t have to play catch up all week on this kind of stuff. This is great because we feel like we have so much to mull over and then also so many people to see in the next 3 weeks. Sydney is still hoping for snow before we leave.


Two days from today is the beginning of 








I am now in love with women’s conferences. I went to one this weekend at Elmbrook and it was SO fantastic. I wasn’t even planning on attending until Rodd came home after work on friday with a ticket for me. I’m always amazed how people can talk about the same Bible verses I’ve heard a hundred times and bring out such awesome challenges & truths from them. Now to the processing & obedience of it all!
