On our way home from the conference

I just sent out an email, and I'll share what I wrote, here.  Then I'll try and add some photos at the end.  
 ===============================
 Well, here we are in Georgia again.  On our way back to Fort Pierce and then home on Thursday!

To say this conference was AWESOME is way short of how it effected us.  God blessed us SO much this week.

We were hosted by a great couple, Ray and Bobbie Zakary.  They have a fantastic retreat place and we were so blessed by their friendship.  Our son Tim and his wife came for 2 days.   I think the Lord sent them to meet Ray and Bobbie, not necessarily to be with us.  But it was good to be with them anyway.  We had a good time.  And Tim and Amy were also impressed with Wills Valley Community Church, just as we have been.  God has a super great group of people there.  They treated us as royalty.  And we were able to spend some time with other missionaries too. What a great time of fellowship and also to hear some over the top teaching. 

It is REALLY hard to put into words how much we were effected by it all.  Our hearts and lives have been changed and we praise God for giving us the opportunity to go.

What a great time we had.  The fellowship, teaching and sharing were such an insight into so many lives.  The neat thing is we were able to spend time not only with new friends, but with those from years gone by.  The reunion was great.  We really praise God for all the effort that was put into the conference.  And the people who organized and made things happen was something beyond our imagination.  The fellowship was great, the food was fantastic, the teaching superior...well, it just goes on and on. 

Having Vero there was such a neat thing, too.  She touched so many hearts.  And won over some neat kids in the process.  She has made some wonderful friends once again.   She did such a great job of sharing.  I think she was overwhelmed by all that went on.  It may take us a few weeks to get our minds back on track again.

So, pray with us that the Lord will not only use this to help us in serving HIM but that all that was said and done there will have an impact in the hearts of those who attended and also will have an impact around the world in missions.

Thank you so much for praying for us, and for keeping your focus on the Lord and all He is doing everywhere!

 This great place was started by an awesome woman in church... ALL proceeds go to missions.  They do a phenomenal job and blessed us by letting us choose things to take back.  God REALLY uses this ministry!
 This was just a quick overview of some of our friends and fun!

Blessings to all and keep Jesus at the front and center of all you do!!  And keep praying, not only for us, but for all missionaries...INCLUDING YOU!!!  Sharing the love of the Lord is ALL OF OUR ministry!!!

Smile Jesus Loves you!!
