As some of you are probably aware, Trent and I moved to middle Tennessee in June to work with the Mt Leo church of Christ. Since arriving, things have been very busy but I wanted to take a little time to let you know how things were going. We absolutely love the new adventure we have embarked upon and we could not have asked for a better church family! They have welcomed us with open arms, had us into their homes, invited us on fun outings and encouraged us so much since we have been here.
Since we have arrived we have had an ice cream social, started a sewing class to make quilts for some of our shut-ins, had a great Vacation Bible School and a very successful Friends and Family Day. At our Friends and Family Day the elders surprised the congregation with new updates around the building. We had fresh paint in the auditorium, power point installed and ready to go, new flowers and chairs up on front and some of the classrooms even got new hard wood floors. We were blessed to have around 220 precious souls present (the most we had before that was 180)!
On top of everything going on at Mt Leo, last weekend I was also given the opportunity to spend some time and speak to some of the sisters from the East End congregation (where my father-in-law preaches) at their Ladies Retreat. We had a great time together making memories and growing in the Word. The most important event to take place since we have been here has been witnessing several restorations and baptisms. To say it has been a very exciting time would be an understatement.
I hope that this post has not been boastful by any means, but pointed to the awesome work that God has going on in our lives. Please continue to keep us in your prayers as we strive to do the Lord’s work and please Him on a daily basis
