flip-flops, pineapples, fishies and more!!

i am trying to type this quickly cause we are at the church and are ready to be home but just wanted to catch you up on the last couple of days while i could (i am probably going to have tons of spelling and grammar mistakes but know i am typing this as quickly as i can)

lets see sunday we worshiped at south hills baptist fellowship, the church we are working with this week. They are currently without a pastor, so please be in prayer as they search for one. we also got a vehicle from one of the church families so that has made it easy to get around. since no one else pays attention to directions i have been the driver. sunday and sunday night i was a bit sick with a cold and some stomach bug that elizabeth and i both had...we are hoping no one else will get it. we were supposed to meet the vbs director at 10 on monday to start on decorations but it ended up being like 1:30 before she ever got to the church...sounds like a woman with the same time management issues as me, huh?!!? well we worked on painting decorations...6 foot tall pineapples, 2 dozen giant flip-flops and such till probably 10 last night.

this morning we got out and hit up one of the neighborhoods with vbs flyers...door to door to every house in the neighborhood. we learned one important thing...montana has GIANT dogs!! every house we went in had like mastiffs and german shepherds or st bernards in them!! on one occasion, as we were pulling into a driveway this huge lab that was approx 4 times bigger than any i have ever seen comes charging at us and jumps on the side of the car and sticks its head into the window as i am trying to roll it up!! needless to say that house didn't get a vbs flyer!!! at one of the houses we were able to see an antelope grazing in their yard!! and it was in the middle of a subdivision...so fun!! they are such interesting animals!! so after we finished up that we came back to the church and painted more decorations...its 10:15 here and we just finished up for the night. We were able to eat supper tonight with the family that is letting us use the vehicle and i found out that she is from mccomb, ms and went to state for a couple of years!! what a relief to meet someone from back home!!!!!!!!!!!!

well, we are all good, just pray for our physical health, because i don't feel like feeling like that again this summer!! we will be passing out vbs flyers in boulder on thursday and if all goes as planned should be heading to yellowstone on thursday night or friday morning!! hopefully after that i should be able to get up some good pictures...i apologize for no pictures this time, but i haven't really taken many this week.

hope all is well wherever y'all are right now!! keep us in your prayers and thanks for all the prayers you have offered on my behalf thus far...they have been whats kept me going through all of this so far!!! goodnight!
