Well the New Year has arrived. This has already been a busy year for our family and it is just getting started. With things that we already know are scheduled for this year, it is only going to get busier.
To start off with, the New Year brought with it a new ministry for our family. On December 31, Leroy officially became the Pastor of First Missionary Baptist Church in St Helens, OR. For the past 3 months, God had given us time to heal our wounds, make new friends, and learn about the work here in St Helens, but now it is time to get to work. You can visit the churches website at www.fmbcsthelensor.com in order to see where God has placed us.
The first week of our ministry here brought about our first opportunity to host a Missionary and his family. We were privileged of having the Brian Elam Family here with us for three days. The Elams are Canadian missionaries to the country of Russia. They have three boys so Adam and Dixie were excited to have other children their age to play with. Also, you know how preachers can be when they get together, so this brought about 3 nights of getting to bed late.
Sandy is progressing well with the pregnancy. She has had a few bumps in the road with her health but overall things are looking good. The baby is due May 3 and we are expecting a girl. Dixie has chosen the name of Savanna Joy for the baby. Adam is not too happy about now having two sisters. I think he is praying that the doctor was wrong on the sex of the baby.
Well we will sign out for now. We are new to the blogging process so it will take us some time to get things going. Look for pictures in the near future.
