Stacey and I have had a very interesting last few days. Yesterday was Saturday. It was cold, windy and rained all day. We had planned to possibly have some of our readers show us around town. The rain prevented us from doing that, however. We spent the day relaxing and catching up on much needed rest. This morning we had church service at ten. There were roughly 15 members including the missionaries and us present. We hope that as time goes on some of our readers were start attending church. Tonight at 6 we had our first LST party. Our goal with the parties is to help our readers build relationships with the church members. We made our first party a "surprise" birthday party for Stacey (she turns 22 tomorrow). Although she helped plan it, she acted totally surprised when I brought her downstairs and everyone sang Happy Birthday to her. Everyone at the party had a blast playing Pin the Nose on the Clown, Musical chairs, Birthday girl says, Drama bag and eating cake. We had about 11 people attend the party. Most of them were church members, but one of them was a reader. We had a fairly good turnout considering it rained all day and we have not even met with all our readers yet. Please continue to pray for us as Stacey and I both have busy reading schedules tomorrow.
God Bless,
Katie

Katie, so, so happy to find your blog....your parents sent it to me after I asked about you Sunday! It sounds like you and Stacey are doing a wonderful job with getting things organized and sharing your faith every day. You are in my prayers and I'll be checking the site now that I know where to look. God bless you both and those you are reading with. I pray God will open many doors and hearts while you're there. In Christ's love, Winnie Rankey
