CHICAGO!!!!

Wow, it's been another busy week! It seems like the closer we get to the end, the busier it gets. Last Wednesday night we were at Lighthouse Baptist Church in Nicholasville, Kentucky with Pastor Dan Barnes. The service went really well and we got to see our friend Stephanie Helms so it was a great night. :-)
After Wednesday night we drove to Chicago where we spent the next few days walking all over and seeing the sights. Saturday we visited Caleb's hometown in Geneseo, IL and spent Sunday morning at church. We sang during the Sunday school hour and in the main service. It was amazing to see the Lord work through both the singing and the message brought by Pastor Kobernat. First Baptist Church was such a blessing to us and I pray that the Lord allowed us to be a blessing to them in return. We had a great time visiting with alot of our college friends that attend church there, and even a few that drove in from surrounding cities. - Jacob, Brianna, Wes, Amanda, Rachel, Colleen, and Jessica, it was great to see ya'll! :) - Caleb sure was sad to leave his family but Sunday afternoon we had to drive quickly to make it to Faith Baptist in Tuscola, IL for their evening service. This service was a little different than usual because it was a special service held at a park. We enjoyed a potluck supper, an open-air service, and afterwards, a good game of church-wide baseball. We sang a few songs and Bro. Tony brought a message about remembering to praise the Lord for everything in our lives. It was a great night of fellowship with Pastor Garcia and the members there. They have recently moved into a new building as God is continually blessing and their church is growing.
Monday we traveled back to Chicago to spend one more day before Mrs. Dee, Bro. Tony's wife, had to leave us. She flew out last Wednesday to spend the week with Bro. Tony. (And us too I guess) :-) Only one week and two more days left of tour. Please remember to keep us in your prayers!


While we were in Chicago we visited the Moody Church, and go to see the pulpit that D.L. Moody preached from.


We sang "How Great Thou Art" inside the auditorium of Moody Church

We couldn't get a picture with every one of our college friends because Sunday is a pretty busy day for all of us, so I stopped for a picture with Brianna Schnurr...She's a nice girl :)
