Our first foray in Wyoming has been a blessing. On Sunday we had the blessing of being with Glenrock Baptist Church and Pastor Les Potter. We had a great time in the Word of God and folks seemed very interested in the church planting work in Nova Scotia and beyond.
Tonight, Monday, we are meeting at Glenrock Baptist Church and the youth are having a life skills lesson. The girls will be making bean soup from a real working keeper-at-home wife and mother, and the boys will be learning roping from a real working cowboy. When we first heard that they were teaching roping as a life shill we were a little surprised, until we remembered that this is Wyoming--this is the west. Wyoming only has a human population of about one-half million. The cattle and Pronghorn each outnumber the people. Roping and bean soup is a life skill here.
We leave Wyoming on Tuesday and head to Minnesota for a couple of days. From there you will hear of us in Missouri, as the Lord supplied us with a missions conference beginning this Sunday which we had not planned to attend.
I was notified today by Pastor Travis Burke that Cozaddale Baptist Temple in Goshen, OH has honoured us with support. Praise God for all His supply.
Praise the Lord for His provisions! I am in southern Minnesota right now visiting my daughter, Cherith and son-in-law Josh. Sounds like I am going to just miss seeing you all again!! If we didn't have a funeral at home this week end, I'd stay a little longer just to see you all. remember we love you and stand in support of your work. Mrs. shaffer
