Ellie in Alberta update

Posted on April 21, 2006 by Troy

I’m back from a convention and am finally able to post some pics. Here goes:

Ellie’s Easter Sunday outfit (and her blanket) getting inspected by her great grandmother

Ellie apparently didn’t sleep well her first few days out there. Naomi suspects that it has something to do with the two new teeth Ellie has gotten since arriving out there. I think that brings the total up to 7! I’m not getting my fingers near those chompers.

Last Friday night we had a storm system go through our area. I was able to get a couple of pictures without getting myself killed.

I set the tripod up in the patio door and opened it up to get some long exposures to try and catch the lighting flashes.

Next time I will take the van out and shoot through the open side door or something.

Ministry Update: While the cats away the mouse will.. go to conventions?

For the next two weeks I will be home alone. Naomi and Ellie are in Alberta visiting family and spoiling the grandparents. Naomi’s mother is going to have some surgery on her feet that will keep her from walking for a bit, so Naomi is there to help around the house and Ellie is there to cheer everyone up. Please pray for Noami’s mom and for a safe return for Naomi and Ellie.

I will be quite busy while they are away.. I have two conventions to attend to represent WOLBI, one is a church denomination’s regional convention, the other a home schooling convention. Please be praying that we will be able to share our ministry of youth evangelism and discipleship with many people going past our booth.

I will also have another Campus Days happening next week (April 28-29). We are now expecting around 25-30+ prospective students to come and check out the school! This is likely going to be our biggest CD yet. Please pray for these young people that they will seriously consider formal Bible training.. and that it would be with us at WOLBI!

An answer to prayer: Today is not only Easter Sunday, but it was the first Sunday for our new pastor at South End Fellowship Baptist Church. For the past 21 months our congregation has been without a pastor and that has meant a lot of extra work and responsibility for me and the other deacons. We thank God for how he has worked in our church during the transition time and that he has provided a new pastor for us, and I look forward to working with Pastor Mark Lowrie and to what God has next for our church.
