If nothing else I guess I can at least update weekly. I preached last night and really enjoyed it. I am looking forward to starting the youth services next Sunday night. Amelia starts the preschool TeamKid this week. Please be praying for us, that God will use them for His glory.
It is really windy today. The trailer is getting rocked by the winds and you can hear it howling outside. It is almost 70 degrees but the wind makes if feel much cooler.
The annual meeting in Sioux Falls, SD, was a lot of fun. I got to witness a little history as the Dakota Southern Baptist Fellowship became the Dakota Baptist Convention. There is a lot of excitement about what God is doing here in the Dakotas. I am glad that He considered me worthy to be a part of it.

Had a long week full of ups and downs last week. Tried to update here last night and lost everything I had written with one click. We are doing well. I am going to Sioux Falls on Wednesday for the Annual Meeting of the Dakota Fellowship. I am looking forward to getting to know Bob better as we travel together this week.
Amelia is starting the TeamKid program for preschoolers next Wednesday night and she will be taking Bob's place for the K-6 grade program this Wednesday night, so be sure and pray for her in that. Also, please be praying for our church especially at this time, as there is a lot of things going on.
I will write more later.

Getting ready for the audition today. Not much else going on. Practiced last night with Kevin on music for the upcoming Sunday night youth services. I am really looking forward to those. Also pray for Amelia. She is getting ready to launch the preschool program for TeamKid on Wednesday nights starting on the 29th.

It has been a good week. God is so good. I spent some time with Garvon, our association's Director of Missions, on Thursday. This week coming up will be very busy. I have my audition with the Black Hills Symphony tomorrow night, and then a dinner on Tuesday night concerning collegiate ministry work.
We still need prayers (always) and financial support. We haven't gotten any support sent in through the North American Mission board. See my home page for details on contributing to our support base.
I think this was the first day since we have arrived that I have spent the whole day at the house.

I have to update more often. Lots of exciting things to talk about. We are planning on starting a youth service on Sunday nights beginning in November. So please include that in your prayers. I am still working on job leads. I will be auditioning for the Black Hills Symphony on Monday night.

Things are going great. We had a great service at church last night. There was a deacon ordination, a deacon activation and a commissioning service all in one. I am so excited about the things that God is doing. We are looking to do a youth rally here in New Underwood to help out the church here, and as a thank-you for their generosity in allowing us to stay here. The youth are planning a Praise the Lord party for Oct. 31 for the kids in the church. Afterwards they are having a lock-in which will give me my first good chance to get to know them better. I can't wait.

We finally have internet access at home. So now I will be updating more frequently. I interviewed at KSLT on Tuesday and am still looking at options as far as employment goes, so please keep praying for that.
