W'apow mu e, 

 

We had a great day at church.  The Morgans brought the Rosenbalms to our church today. Brother Adam Rosenbalm preached in all of the services. Mrs. Kelly Rosenbalm played the keyboard for the services this morning.  We had over 100 in attendance this morning.  Nine boys from the soccer team who came for the first time last week came forward for salvation this morning.  They didn't quite understand yet; we will keep working with them. 


 I still had the children's class; everyone else met in the auditorium.  I had 27 in my class.  I don't have a helper in Sunday School since Emmanuel left for university.  (On a side note, Emmanuel has already led three fellow students to the Lord up where he is.  He is trying to find a church up there but has not been successful yet.)  Ordeth helped me during church.


Missions With the Consfords

We came home for lunch and naps and then headed back to church.  The power was off at the church this evening.  I was all ready to transpose the hymns so that I could play along with the keyboard.  Since there was no power, I just played the clarinet.  We had a good service this evening as well with twenty-two in attendance.  Brother Rosenbalm preached a good message about Andrew being a witness to others.


It must have just been a power problem in the area of the church because our power was still on when we got home.  


Nantsew yie!
