First Full Day

We're sorry the technical difficulties with our posting Bryan's phone is acting silly :) we are all ready and just waiting for the Navajo teens to arrive. Please we need as many prayers as possible that we follow God's will and have faith that we do what God needs us to do here, even if we don't receive many campers!!! We'll write again soon. Keep the messages coming :) we love u all!!!!!

It is beautiful here in the morning. We have spent time in worship, prayer, and planning...and even learned a little Navajo...kind of.

Had delicious Navajo tacos last night using Navajo frybread.

Peace....

Tyler,
It was great to hear from you. We are praying all the efforts going door to door yesterday will bring in some more campers...but if not - remember your purpose is to serve and it never matters what the numbers are - invest in those He sends to you!
I pray you all have an awesome day!
Love you!
Mom

Laura, Danielle, Chelsea and Andrew:
Hope everything is well. I'm praying for you. I realize today that Molly is Laura's dog. She lays in the love seat and stares at the door. I found some old cheez whiz in the refrigerator and a little bit of bread in the pantry so Molly and I ate well. We found 5 bucks in the cookie jar, so we're going to West Store to get sardines and crackers. So we'll eat good Wednesday for breakfast. Wednesday morning Molly and I are going out on Horseback to check the lower 40 so we'll check back after that.
Love Norman!

Logan, Pretty quiet in Mechanicsville. I keep waiting for the door to open and you to run in, change your clothes and run out again. Hope today brought more campers, but if not, just keep doing what God asks of you...to share the good news. It doesn't matter whether it's 1 or 71.
Love, Mom

Momma Saunders said...

Rachel S. is it OK if Scrappy took a little bite out of your phone??? He hasn't had one in a long time...he forgot what it tasted like.(JK) I love you, and I know that you are right where you need to be following God's plan-Stay focused.
