We had a great time at our Mission Conference. It was tremendously encouraging and also challenging. James Zenker was the speaker, and he brought some great messages. Josiah and Jonathan did a great job singing in the choir. We were able to be in the parade of nations representing the country of Brazil. This picture shows Josiah with a few of the other children who were part of the parade of nations. It was neat to see the many nationalities in our church.

We left our conference and headed to New Hampshire. We arrived there Thursday evening after a very long trip. We enjoyed being a part of the conference at Victory Baptist Church in Londonderry, NH. The church people were very kind to us and we enjoyed seeing some friends we hadn't seen in a long time, and also making new friends.

We were supposed to leave there early Monday morning and travel about 12 hours. Late Sunday night Judson got sick, and we were up most of the night with him. We still left pretty early, and our 12 hour trip became somewhat longer, but we made it. We had a meeting in Illinois, so we stopped by to spend the night with my parents. It was nice to see them even for just a short time. Unfortunately, we seem to have shared our germs with them, so they are still recovering from our visit. (Sorry Mom and Dad-Hope you are feeling better.)

We were supposed to be leaving tomorrow for a conference in Alabama, but decided it would be better to wait until we are all healthy. If we are able, we will go on Monday instead.

I leave you with a video clip of the boys' choir singing in church. Jonathan is right in the front row. Josiah is up and to the right of Jonathan in the row second from the top.
