Praises

1.  The Green Mountain Baptist Association recently purchased a "compound" consisting of 3 buildings in Barre, 2 of which are homes ready to be occupied.  A donor gave the full amount of purchase price for the homes.  Although we do not know all the details, we have been told that we will be able to move into one in the future!!  They are also next door to a couple from the church, the Cambios, whom we have mentioned before.  They are our friends who are traveling with us to NH next month to see Thomas!  What a blessing this is to our family and all the future interns at Faith Community Church.  The church is going to start looking for a new intern, now that there is secured housing for two families.  (any of you SEBTS fellas looking to church plant!!)  Praise the Lord for this!!!  This also means that the OMVers who are coming this summer have a home to stay in while they are here, right next to us!!

2.  Nathanael has poopied in the potty!  We realize this is not a praise for everyone, but it is a step in the right direction for our little man!  Although he hasn't been able to tell us, daddy has noticed when he tries to poop and has gotten him to the bathroom in time.  He also peed in the potty yesterday morning when he got up.  Maybe he'll get some Thomas underwear for his second birthday!  We welcome any suggestions!!

3.  We are looking forward to our friends from NC visiting us and helping us to survey area towns for church planting.  Just today an article was shared with us about a church in a town called Putney that is closing its doors and is looking to sell their property to a non-profit organization interested in serving the community.  We have added that to our list of towns to pray for.  

4.  CC is coming up next week.  Daddy is flying home for a few days and when he returns, he will bring CC (his mom) on an airplane!  Nathanael is really excited about this (and so is CC).  Mommy is excited because CC always wants to cook when she comes!! Please pray for safety in travels as Daddy flies home on Monday and back up on Wednesday.
