Just wanted to send a short note to let you guys know what our plans are. We are rushing around trying to get things done so we can leave Florida this Saturday, June 25th. I am helping with VBS this week and trying to finish up last minute things that need to be done before our trip out west. This time Haley will be the only one of our children traveling with us – it will seem strange not to travel looking like the Beverly Hillbillies!
We will visit relatives in Mobile, then Texas and California and finally end up at one of our supporting churches in Oregon. We are looking forward to reconnecting and sharing with folks in Shan Creek Community Bible Church there in Grants Pass. Then we will drive to Montana for a Burns family reunion. We are hoping our son, Jason, and his family will be able to join us for a week at the family reunion. We need to see that new grandson!! We will have the opportunity to share with folks at Corvallis Community Church and Victor Community Church while staying with Phil’s mom and then drive to eastern Montana and share with folks at Ulm Bible Church. We may even stop to see Jason’s new home on the way back through Colorado and also visit relatives in Denver. Our last 2 stops will be in Mississippi to visit Heather where she is taking flight training and to visit relatives and First Presbyterian Church in Kosciusko, Ms. I guess we’ll be tired of traveling by then so will head back to Florida. By the time we get home it should be about the first week in August. We may have to turn around a few weeks later and drive Haley up to start Bible School in Wisconsin.
VBS is half way over and has been fun. We have seen quite a few kids make decisions to trust Christ and others who desire to grow so all the hard work has been worth it. One little girl I counseled tonight thought she might be saved but wasn’t real sure so I was able to share 1 John 5:13 with her about how she could KNOW for sure that she had eternal life by trusting Christ as her Savior. If she wasn’t saved before I believe she is now. Please pray for this little third grader, Brooke.
