Missions Conference & Board Meetings

We have been a busy lot this last week! Stephen is the promotions director for the Home Missions Department of the Western District UPC, so he represented the Home Missions Dept. at Bro. Randy Keyes missions conference last Friday and Saturday!! That was a wonderful experience!!! We took Adam and Misti with us we were all thrilled at the awesome experience!! On Saturday, we went to a luncheon at Bro. Keyes' house and they shuttled all of the children to John's Incredible Pizza. Believe it or not this mommy let Cherish go! There are pictures of her in the van!! She had a blast, of course!! She made a friend from that church earlier in the year at District Conference! Her name is Olivia Morris! She is Bro. Don Morris' daughter, he is Bro. Keyes' personal assistant. She is in several of the pictures with Cherish! Olivia is 2 months older than Cherish! Darling little girl!!

We got home on Sunday morning at 1 am and had church on Sunday both am and pm. Then had to leave at 11am on Monday for District Board Meetings in Bakersfield. I am on the Ladies Ministries Board and Stephen on the Home Missions. The ladies board was a wonderful time! We all worked so great together and feel good about our progress. Late on Tuesday night, several ladies, myself, Amber Gilliam, Ronda Hurst and Darla Young all made a Walmart run! I laughed so hard I was sore the next day! I have a picture of that "Late night crew!" Thank you Bro. Richardson for taking the picture!

So, for the last 7 days we have been CRAZY busy!!! We are exhausted but in some crazy way, refreshed!! Stephen says that it is because we have been overly busy with something bigger than our own world! Whatever the reason, Thank God!!
