Acts 17:6

As we pulled into the hotel Saturday night Natalia said, "Home!" I laughed knowing she was half right.

In the morning we were going to be presenting at Freedom Baptist Church.

We met Pastor Calloway and his wife for dinner at a local Mexican restaurant. Great fellowship - we just had to talk over the "Woohoo's" and "Yeeha's" of other diners who had too much to drink.

We presented our ministry to their very sweet church. The pianist jokingly greeted us with her accordion, playing, "When the Moon Hits Your Eye." At the end of the service Mrs. Calloway brought the girls out from the nursery wearing hot pink crowns from the lesson they had learned about Queen Esther. The Pastor, his wife and family are the kind of people we could spend all day with.

This little church is growing and will soon need to be meeting in a bigger building. They were very generous and even helped us pay for a much needed expense. This little church is doing big things. Little is much when God is in it!

For some reason, I've just been curious as to what, "we just had to talk over the "Woohoo's" and "Yeeha's" of other diners who had too much to drink" means...

We were seated kinda close to the bar and there was a woman who kept randomly screaming "WHOOOHOOOO" really loud over and over again. It actually became quite humorous.
