Congratulations to Abi.  She gave her testimony and got baptized today at the church they got to when at college.  So proud of her for following Jesus!  

These last three are professional pictures that were taken.  Abi looks so beautiful and happy!

Kimmy had told us that Abi was getting baptized, and let us know this morning they were going to surprise her and go.  We would have went too if we had known sooner.  Jacob texted me and told me he wished he would have told us sooner.  

I got up early and browned round steak and got it going in the crockpot with cream of chicken soup.  I also peeled potatoes.  Then Bill reminded me that we were going to Lansing to meet two CMA couples who are helping us plan our State Rally.  I guess it will be tomorrow's dinner.  I got ready, then woke Eli and Evan up so they could eat and be ready on time.  We got to church and the boys waited in the sanctuary while we went to pray.  Sue came back for the first time today.  She came into prayer and then sat by us during the service. Rody and the kids were sitting in our row with Eli and Evan when we came into the service.  It was packed today.  Next week we start having 2 services.  

We came home for a half hour after church.  Eli wanted spaghetti’os and meatballs and Evan said he wasn’t hungry yet.  I dropped off a pizza to Melissa’s when we dropped them off in case Eli, who is a little fussy, needed something to eat.  I told the boys what amazing grandsons they were and how much I loved having them stay with us.  

We headed to Lansing then.  We have made a few trips there lately.  I talked to Kenny for a while during our ride.  It was a nice ride and when we got almost to the Cracker Barrel, we got a text from both couples saying they were there.  We got there about 5 minutes later.  The guys all got breakfast.  I got grilled chicken tenders, Sue got crispy chicken tenders, and Bev got a chicken salad.  The guys all finished really quick.  We laughed because we still had most of our food on our plates.  We had a great meeting and they sure are great friends and amazing Area Reps for us.  

I texted with Abi for a while, then texted with Jacob.  I wanted to let Abi know how happy we were for her and how proud we are of her.  We wanted to take them out for dessert, but they didn’t get our message in time.  Abi had studies too and Jacob said he was really tired, so he was sleeping.  We will do it sometime soon.  

We got home and read our Bibles and relaxed after I got a few things done that needed attention.  I talked to Melissa for a long time.
