Colorado trip

On the plane headed to Colorado- We had a good visit. We saw family and friends that we had not been able to see the last time we were in Colorado. Ella and Thomas had a fun time with Grandma and Grandpa. It is a rare occasion to be the only grand kids around. We went to a little indoor playground one day and Chad taught the kids how to play air hockey-I crawled around with Ella in the play structure- my knees and shoulders were sore the next day! The kids did a craft with Grandma

We did our second presentation at Loveland Nazarene Church. We had the whole evening service, and to our surprise, had no trouble filling the time up. We were concerned about how many people would come, as it had snowed about 7 inches that day- and was still snowing. A large crowd came out in the weather!

After we shared the story about how we got to this place in our lives, I talked on 1 Peter 5:5-10. I enjoyed preparing and sharing what I had learned. I am more comfortable standing up front and talking than I am mingling with people afterward. Chad is more comfortable with the mingling. We continue to be overwhelmed and blessed by the way God is moving people to partner with us. Not just with monetary support, but with encouraging words, wise advise and commitments to pray.

We have three days left of living here before we head back to Boise. I am sad. It just seems to soon to be leaving here. We have not had enough time to "wrap things up" with everyone. We plan to make several visits back before we leave in May.

There are new renters moving into this house the day after we move out. Get this- they are FROM PERU. How cool is that?!

That is amazing about the renters! God does work in mysterious ways, doesn't he??

It was so great to have you here. I know things will still continue to work out just as they're supposed to.
