From Boise to Seattle and Back

I can't believe it has been month since I last "blogged"!!! Oh my how the time flies. Well we very much alive and well. Between taking care of the church and my family and having a revival in Seattle I've had hardly a moments rest.
We had wonderful rest during the Holidays while at home in Texas. And when we got back to Idaho we hit the ground running haven't stopped since. I wont bore you with all the details but I will tell you that we are having great services in Idaho. I must say that our preacher is one of the best I've ever heard. LOL. Please allow me to take a minute to brag on my husband. For the past seven years (can you believe it) I have seen him in the role of an evangilist, but for the past 4 months I have seen him step into to the shoes of a pastor. Not an easy thing to do overnight. He has made me so proud. He has loved and cared for these people just as they were his own. He has used wisdom in dealing with some of the situations that have arose. He has taken charge and orgranized a bus route. He even had to change one of the bus tires one Sunday afternoon. Not to mention working with the Africians. Sometimes we feel like we are on the mission field. I could go on and on about what all this GREAT man has and is doing. God has stretched both of us during our time here. I feel he is preparing us for something new.
The Africans are doing well. When asked recently why they don't go elsewhere to church they said they wanted to go to Heaven and this was the Church that would take them there. They have started praying for 4 hours on Saturday. We are seeing some great changes in our Africans.
Bro. Kantola is doing fabulous. He has started eating "real food" again and at his last visit the doctor said everything is looking good!!
We preached in Seattle last week and had an awesome revival. One recieved the Holy Ghost. Several backsliders prayed back through. Two were baptised and several were healed.
Well that's the Cliff Notes version. Hope you all have a great weekend and I promise we'll "blog" again real soon.
P.S. Congratulations Eddie and Ashley!! I am so happy for you. I know you two will be wonderful parents. I only wish I could be there this very minute to hold baby Heidi. Love you guys.
