What abeautiful time to be in middle Tenn. The trees have leafed out, flowers are blooming and the birds are singing. Living out in the country as I do, with the windows open, I hear the whip po will at night and awaken to the Bob White's call in the morning. The rest of the day the finches by the score line up at the bird feeder. I hope it is pretty and nice where you are too.

Received an e mail from Henry Pendergrass from Lewistown, Montana. They are in the process of getting their plans approved for their new building. You can email Henry at lewistncoc@midivers.com I know he would be glad to hear from you. He and Agnes are doing a great work there.

If you received or can get a copy of "Christian Woman" please read the article about mission work by Maxine Shepherd. It is an informative article. Maxine and Doug are Sojourners, two of the finest Christians I have ever known, who do an unbelievable amount of mission work in this country. Rosemary and I have served on many sojourns with them and count them as some of our dearest friends.

Do want to remind you of Mike's blog involving his work at the Fla. Bible Camp and his Disaster Assistance Work. Mikesmissionupdates.blogspot.com

We are, as I write in the process of loading the rig for our trip to Bayou La Batre (BLB) for a weeks work with the Hemly Rd. Church of Christ. I was talking to Daphne, an unbelievable hard worker for the Church, today, they have 70 names for us to visit while we are there. Dave Neal, from the Somerset Church in Somerset, Ohio and two others are going to join us there in this effort. We are not only planning visitations and bible studies, but also a "Super Saturday" Flyers will be put our all over town as well as going house to house with them inviting people to the "Super Saturday". Their "Super Saturday" will consist of a devotional, a cook out and a community sing. ( With plenty of invitations to the guests to come and worship the next day and hopefully set up some bible studies.) They are always so appreciative of our mission efforts there, but truthfully, we are the one that come away blessed.

We went and visited the new Church Camp, "Camp Joy" Fri. afternoon. We are looking forward to tomorrow night at the Howell Church We have some of the brethren from the camp ivitied to tell us about it. This camp borders Lincoln and Moore Co. in mid. Tenn.

We will be away from the blog for a few days and I may not even be able to get on line to answer your email for a few days. As soon as we get back, we will resume. Thank you again for all of you who are supporting our mission efforts. We will be making a report as soon as we get back home. Don
