Getting Behind

I knew this would happen...I'm getting behind on my blog - seriously behind. 
So much has happened since I last posted and get this, I can't post photos today since I'm using a borrowed computer. I will post them soon - promise. 

We were privileged to attend the Alabama Bible Methodist Camp in Pell City again this year - it's always a highlight! My parents were the singers this year, so that was an extra incentive to attend. We participated in the Thursday night Missions Service by presenting our Share Support program. We were so blessed to receive a very generous offering - thank you, people in Alabama - we love you all!

We spent Friday, July 4 traveling back to Indianapolis so that we could fly out to Idaho early on Saturday morning. We arrived in Spokane, Washington Saturday afternoon, and were met by Pastor and Mrs Randy Hynes, taken to their beautiful home in Lewiston, Idaho. We had the privilege of singing and preaching in their church yesterday morning and presenting our Share Support Program and Bible Methodist Missions last night. Again, a very generous offering and several new share supporters joined our ministry. Thank you, Pastor Hynes and people! 

The Hynes have invited us to stay a few days here in Idaho to do some sightseeing and just relax. We have enjoyed ourselves already. We are to fly back into Indianapolis on Friday and so the busy schedule continues! 

As soon as I'm able, I will post photos of our time here in Idaho. Just let me say - beautiful!! Our boys had never been this far west, so they are getting to add 3 new states to their "lists" this week: Colorado, Washington, and Idaho. 

I hope you all have a wonderful week. Thank you for praying for us during our Share Support Tour!

That brings back memories of when we were on deputation and made some side trips for little vacations with our kids. Have a good time!

Hi, Karen. We were sorry to miss seeing you at Pell City, too! We'll be traveling to all the Alabama churches in August and September. Looking forward to seeing you soon!
Love, Melodie

What a small world! I was very good friends with Melissa Bates Hynes back in high-school. I had no idea that was where you were going! Sounds like you had a great visit. If you are still there...tell her Hello from me!
