This past weekend the Bean family traveled to San Jose, California. We were in service on Sunday morning with the Shoemakes. Joel preached a tremendous message about the foundation of our faith. I know I may be a little bias but my husband is really a great preacher. I wish I could convey to you the passion that he preaches with. During the alter call the Holy Ghost moved and many were blessed. To all of you in Wichita Falls the Shoemakes send their love. Our good friends Jonathan and Julie Haygood were preaching in Salinas on Sunday night so we drove over to be in service with them. It is always good to be with friends you love.
On Monday before heading back to San Diego we stopped to see Mama Blanche (Joel's grandmother). For those of you who do not know, Mama Blanche fell recently and broke some ribs. She is back home now and is recovering. She was thrilled to see the girls. This was her first time seeing Alivia. She thought the baby was so cute and well fed. LOL! For me it was a bittersweet visit. I have come to love this woman so much and to see her health fading is so sad to me. She is 91 years old and has lived a long full life. I'm so thankful that God has blessed me to be able to know her. She is one of my inspirations. I might add that there is a reprint of her book being published. I highly recommend it. It is a moving account about the life of her and her family during the early years of Pentecost.
I am off to Ladies Conference tomorrow. I'm not sure if and where we are preaching on Sunday. Look for a new update from the Beans next week. Love all of you.
P.S. Bro. Gene I could not figure out to change the date on my camera so I just took it off completly. LOL!
