our summer vacation, part three

From NC, we went to Myrtle Beach to meet Allison's family for vacation. We spent most of our days playing in the sand, sitting under the umbrella and swimming in the ocean. Nathanael had fun in the water clinging to anyone who would hold him close. One day he even wanted to go under, so we helped him with that. I think he opened his eyes underwater because he came up saying, "my eyes, my eyes!" He didn't want to go under again... We build sandcastles, took family photos, and visited with seminary friends, too! We ate ribs, Chick-Fil-A and Krispy Kreme hot donuts!! Nathanael was the only one who did not get sunburned (thankfully)!

Yum, Yum

We even got to play with fire trucks!

On our way back from the beach, we rented another truck to bring back all our yard tools, baby things and Christmas goodies. We drove from 6am to 9pm that day. I am thankful that Nathanael slept and watched movies the whole day! What a day! We are grateful to be back in Vermont, settling back into our routine.

When we returned, we found out that there is a church building in St. Johnsbury (one of the places we have been considering for a church plant) that is going to be given away in October to a community organization. Brian and Terry Dorsett (the DOM for VT and the Pastor at Faith Community Church) visited the Christian Science church building, which is in downtown St. Js. Brian will be working on a proposal that will be considered in the group of organizations seeking to use the building. We will know for sure in October who will be the recipient of the building. Please pray that God will be most glorified in the giving away of the building. Of course this would be a blessing to the GMBA in starting an SBC church in St Johnsbury! We'll keep you posted!
