The Pastor's Conference

We went to the Southeastern Pastor's Conference from Monday to Wednesday. It was an awesome time. Tons of great teachings. We met some new wonderful brothers and sisters in the Lord, and we were able to talk with a lot of different pastors that we had just sent our newsletter to.

These are the effects that ice cream has on Kilaine...

This is Frank and Stacia Hall. They were our host home during the conference in St. Pete. It was really cool how the Lord worked it out. They had been missionaries in Ghana for 2 years with their daughter. It was great hearing about God's faithfulness in their lives, and seeing their pictures from Ghana.

We felt very welcomed at the Hall's home. Liam made himself right at home, even helping himself to the juice boxes in the fridge!

We met Jack and Susan Wilburn at the conference. They are also going to move to Peru as full time missionaries. They will be going approximately the same time as us, sometime in June, to work with Brian and Betty. It was great to have lunch with them and get to know them a little bit. We are hoping to get to spend more time with them when we pass through Orlando in March.

This is Mike and Revae Lawrence with their 2 kids, Naomi (3) and Abigail (1 1/2). They shared at our Bible study a week ago. They are our good friends who now live in Jaco, Costa Rica. They are involved in a church plant there. They have been there for about a year and a half now. Pray for them and the work going on there in Jaco.

Naomi and Kilaine love seeing each other. They have been friends since Naomi was born. Kilaine says that she loves her "bigger than the world!" Boy, that's a lot of love!
