Classes are underway!

We just completed our second week of classes. Everyone is still so excited! We attended the first meeting, which I've posted photos of below. Terry and Lori are doing the classes but we wanted to be there for the first meeting just to give a little about our background and show support for everyone being there. The first night was an orientation night where we gave them the guidelines for the class and distributed their class binders. So, last night was the actual first meeting where they brought back their completed homework. It's so great to see everyone getting in the Word and learning so much.















The really cool thing, is this...Rick stopped in to a place of business here in town where three people work who also all attend the church. The husband of one of the girls was there too so he began talking to them. They were so excited because they had started reading their Bibles together and studying. Now, this is a young couple in their 20's with a couple of kids. The first day he came to the church service, he was very quiet. Later we found out that he had never even wanted to go to church before. Well, he came that day and loved it. He's been here every week since, which is about seven or eight weeks straight. Last week he told his wife he wanted to buy a Bible for himself. He bought one and now, he and his wife are already reading and studying together. That is PAYOFF for us, right there! Just seeing the growth in them already. Now, he talks to everyone, getting to know everyone, and is wanting to start serving in the parking lot and he's excited about it! It's so great to see the change.

So, again, thank you for your prayers. There's still MUCH to be done but we've got a great start with the people God has brought so far.

We love you all and miss you so much...think of you often!
