We are in Bruce, WI. The weather is difficult, muggy and 90 degrees. Last Sunday we blew a tire and replaced 4 of the 6 tires. The other two looked good. Then yesterday we blew one of the two we didn't replace! So far we've been to the shop 3 times.
The church service in Bruce went great!!! The folks there we bright eyed and excited about our music. The service was very conservative. It was really like stepping back in time 50 years. The hymns were traditionally slow, with Hammond organ, and all 5 verses were sung. from all appearance these were not the kind of folks that would be encouraged by our music. We were wrong!!
They loved it and we were mutually encouraged. They all thanked us for coming. One thing different here is that they don't play games in conversation. They say what they mean. If they offer something they mean it and if you want to ask a question you can count on them answering truly the first time. Leon and I realized that as much as we fight to be sincere we could learn a lot from them.
We are going on to Simpler Times village in Indiana. We don't know what to expect there. Pray that God will give us the words to say and prayers to pray. HE has been setting up some divine appointments. So much so that we don't get upset when the tires blow out etc. We can see His leading. Pray for Havilah, her struggles have intensified but, I think we figured something out yesterday to help her. We petition the Lord on her behalf daily. Satan wants her and I am very sure she is to do great things for God.
Thank you for your prayers. Xea, thank you for the clothes, they really help. Dad , thank you for what you did at the funeral.

I will be praying for Havilah.
I am wondering if each of your kids might have something to blog about, something that has inspired them so far. Do they have any prayer requests?
we love you guys.
