~Jesus helped us with our missions services in MO~

One of the ladies in Colombia needs Special prayer today!!

The Lord gave us traveling mercies to Missouri and helped us with our mission services on Sunday.  Thank you so very much for your prayers!
It was so wonderful to see old friends and dear people who have supported and prayed for our family through the years!!!  We were glad to give them an update of how God is working on our mission fields.
We had NO CLUE that it was supposed to snow on Monday!!  We traveled back all night long on snow and icey roads. We saw lots of wrecks, including several semis. 
God protected us, for which we Thank Him!!

This Saturday, I have been asked to speak at a Women of Worth Women's Ministry Symposium, in Indianapolis, IN.
I would appreciate your prayers that God will help me as I speak, help the other ladies as they speak, and that God would come in a very special way as we meet together.  THANK YOU!!
~Passing the Arch on our way to MO~
 ~We were thrilled to get to spend some time with our dear friends Bryan and Julianna and their family, and were so surprised and happy to get to see Anthony as well.  
When Phillip pastored in AZ before God called us to be missionaries, our family and the Arnold family were quite close.  
Julianna and Ashlea would come down and spend time with me in Phoenix, helping me with my babies, and we would go thrift store shopping together. 
Here I am holding Bryan and Julianna's cuddly baby Kailor.
When we arrived at Mt. Zion Church Grounds, Julianna served us a yummy snack 
in their adorable cozy home.~

~SUNDAY MORNING AT FORDLAND, MO CHURCH~
~Elijah and Mary and their new friend Grace~
 ~We love these dear people at the Fordland church!! Bro. Don Eagleston, the Millers, Bro. and Sis. Ken Thompson, the Goodwins, and others we hold dear to our heart! 
We have been going to this church since Noah was a tiny baby.  
They have stood by our family with their prayers and support for all these years.  
Here I am with DEAR Bro and Sis. Gaylerd Miller.  We love these people to pieces!~
 ~They have such a nice fellowship hall that we had not seen.  We are so happy for them They served a delicious Sunday dinner to our family!!~
~I was so happy to meet my new sweet friend Jenny.  She is a good friend of my friend Adrian. ~
~We ran over to Bryan and Julianna's for Sunday afternoon and had a great visit with them.  It was like in the 70's and so we sat on the front porch.  Hard to believe that it SNOWED the next day.

 ~It was fun telling each other our love stories and how God brought us together. ~
~The Lord helped us at Mt. Zion Church.  We enjoyed worshiping with these dear people.
In both the AM and PM services, I didn't think to give my phone to someone to take pics of our family singing, Kimberly talking about her Honduras trip that she and Sarah are going on, nor of me telling of the Miracle house which Jesus just provided for us. ~ 
~Afterwards Mt. Zion had a yummy snack in the dining room.
Julianna snapped this pic of Abigail holding Kailor with one of the twins behind her.~
~Julianna, Her Grandma,  Heather, Kimberly (and Kailor, ) and Sarah~

~After breakfast we ran to Mt. Zion chapel.  
We were asked to have a short mission service in the Mt. Zion Chapel.

~Someone gave us money to go out to eat, so we took the kids to Lambert's cafe,

~Like I said earlier, we had NO IDEA it was supposed to snow on Monday.
While we were eating lunch, this is what it was doing outside!
So, we drove home all night on very slippery snowy and icey roads.~
 ~Sadly, we saw lots of wrecks. ~

~This poor semi jack-knived BIG TIME!~
 ~Finally at 5:44 A.M. We saw our HOME SWEET HOME!!~
 ~Our kids have been PRAYING for snow....so they were so excited to see the snow when we got home.~
~There wasn't a ton of snow, but our kids were happy.
