Our Computer is Fixed

MY COMPUTER IS FIXED!!! We are back from California and all is well, except for my digital camera which is broken. (Does anyone see a trend here.) We got home last Saturday just in time for church prayer. We enjoyed a wonderful Easter service on Sunday. The kids choir sang 3 songs and we had special Easter monologue. After a nice lunch with Kantolas we came back to the trailer and Joel hid eggs outside so the girls could hunt for them. They were so cute especially Alivia. She had a grand time and although her basket was so heavy she absolutely would not let anyone help her carry her it. She would say "get go" (let go) when we tried to help her. Sorry I don't have any pics to show just how cute they were. Like I said earlier when I got home my camera was broken. I was just sick that I could not take any pics at Easter. I do however have some pictures from California. Some are at Joel's parents house during a gumbo feast, some of our revival with the Molanders (the lady pictured with Sis. Molander recieved the Holy Ghost that Sunday morning) and the others are of the girls at the park in Lodi with Jana and her girls.

Hope you have had a good week and you have a fantastic weekend.

P.s. Thank you so much Yenn for fixing our computer. You are our favorite "computer geek".

Our Internet is Down

To my friends, and my fellow bloggers I have learned a very valuable lesson. Don't make a promise you can't keep. On Jan. 31st I promised I would blog again very soon well we both know that didn't happen. But truly and honestly it was beyond my control. My husband installed Norton Internet Security, right after my last post, and we haven't been able to connect to the Internet since. (Can anyone help?) So I make no more promises. You'll see me when you see me. I happen to be visiting in CA and I'm writing from my in-laws computer, in case you are wondering.

We are all doing well. The girls are growing like weeds. Alivia is all over the place and repeats everything she hears. Awww! Alyssa is just too cute. Her stories are as wild as ever. The other day at daycare she told the children and the workers and a pastors wife that there are TWO Holy Ghosts. The good Holy Ghost and the bad one. The bad one says awhoooo (like a wolf). Then she preceded to tell how she rescued her "mudder and fadder" in-law from the wolfs mouth and the wolf had the bad holy ghost. There is some concern about what exactly her daddy has been preaching in Boise. LOL!!

Boise Worship Center is doing well. Bro. Kantola is getting stronger everyday and seems to be recovering nicely. Thank you Jesus! He has been covering the services since we have been gone and is doing great job.

We are in CA visiting family and preaching for Bro. Ted Molander. It has been a wonderful visit thus far. I am going to do my best to post as often as I can while I'm here . Love you all.

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.
