That is what I'm doing with my sisters weekend report. My sister Christi Waite does such a good job at taking and posting pictures I figure the best way to share is to pass it on. Here is her creative website httpchristicreativecrew.blogspot.com. http://www.travelblog.org/North-America/United-States/Michigan/Grand-Rapids/blog-442108.html For the last 4 weeks we've been sharing a countdown to Israel with the people of WRBC. Check out our special website designated to this trip.www.projectisrael.net http://www.travelblog.org/Middle-East/Israel/Jerusalem-District/Jerusalem/blog-432156.html In preparation for our journey we are recording 4 Countdowns to Israel.

We are getting excited about this video venture and trust that the Lord will be able to use it for His http://www.travelblog.org/Middle-East/Israel/Jerusalem-District/Jerusalem/blog-429784.html In 2007 Pastor Rich and Lynette traveled to Israel as host of a group of 30 people from Walnut Ridge Baptist Church. It became apparent during this time from Pastor Richrsquos evening lectures that his knowledge of not only the Scriptures but also Israelrsquos history and land greatly enhanced the experience of those who participated in the trip.It is because of this that during our 2009 Is http://www.travelblog.org/Middle-East/Israel/Jerusalem-District/blog-427371.html One Monday we had a boys day an a girls day. The boys went fishing and us girls did some shopping and lunch. Naomi said that her blankie was a girl so it could come too.Tuesday we headed to Grand Lake Baptist Camp in New Brunswick. Brad and Mel spent one night and then headed back to Rochester. Rich spoke on Living Under Gentile Rule and So You Really Want to Follow Jesus. We headed back to Ha http://www.travelblog.org/North-America/Canada/Nova-Scotia/Halifax/blog-424801.html Phase II started off with a trip to the Library for A Teddy Bear Picnic. The kids loved to puppets books and movie. It was a good way to get them out of the house while their parents packed for their trip. Less tears too Jeremy has a load of wood chips delivered to their driveway in hopes that we would have time to work on the yard. However the rain prohibited that somewhat but the kids enjo http://www.travelblog.org/North-America/Canada/Nova-Scotia/Halifax/blog-424783.html It's been quite a week with 14 people in one house 6 under 6 years old. But it was good to be together. We were able to get to the harbor for the tall ship festival eat fish and chips at the Eastern Passage and buy lobster for 4.99 a pound for a fun family meal. Yesterday we were able to get some family picture and then today we said good bye to Jason Sara and Maggie as they had to head back http://www.travelblog.org/North-America/Canada/Nova-Scotia/Halifax/blog-421222.html We arrived in Halifax In fact we are about 12 hour early and are waiting for Jason and Sara to arrive. Sara Jo and Jeremy aren't here yet either. The weather is nice and comfortable and we are looking forward to the weeks ahead. We'll keep you informed. http://www.travelblog.org/North-America/Canada/Nova-Scotia/Halifax/blog-418696.html What a joy to spend 4 days in Rochester with Melissa and the kids while Brad is in Honduras. http://www.travelblog.org/North-America/United-States/New-York/Rochester/blog-399271.html Went to Pella to see the Tulips. http://www.travelblog.org/North-America/United-States/Iowa/Waterloo/blog-399269.html We have spent the last 10 days in Florida. Thursday Sunday we were with J.O. and Juanita Purcell at their church in The Villages. What a joy to see a budding church that has grown to around 300 in 6 years. They are about ready to go to two services and even have building plans for a new auditorium sometime in the future. On Monday we drove down to Juniper FL to visit Grace Emmanuel Church. This http://www.travelblog.org/North-America/United-States/Florida/Orlando/blog-395238.html To celebrate our 36th anniversary we took a few days to drive south. We had never been to Missouri and were impressed with the rolling hills and beautiful countryside. We drove through Kansas City on our way home and had some famous Kansas City Barbque. http://www.travelblog.org/North-America/United-States/Missouri/Columbia/blog-385276.html While Jason took a trip to Bolivia and Rich went to meetings in Ohio I flew down to NC for a few days to get acquainted with Maggie. All I can say is she likes to walk walk walk. She loves life and enjoys every day. Whether in Bolivia or NC it's hard to say Goodbye. http://www.travelblog.org/North-America/United-States/North-Carolina/Davidson/blog-385275.html It was wonderful to have Sara Jo Nathan and Breanna here for two weeks. We were able to take Nathan to the Waterloo Playhouse and the Museum in Dubuque which he really enjoyed. He fell in love with Papa and wanted to go with him everywhere. It involved transferring the car seat from car to car but it was worth it. Breanna won everyone's heart with her smile. Needless to say we miss them. http://www.travelblog.org/North-America/United-States/Iowa/Waterloo/blog-385253.html We started our ministry at Bibleville on Sunday January 4 and will continue through the week. Pray that the messages will produce fruit in the lives of the people here. Lynette was able to speak to the ladies at the Tea and had a good reception. The weather has been beautiful and it will be hard to come back to the cold and snow. However it will be good to get back home after some much time away http://www.travelblog.org/North-America/United-States/Texas/Rio-Grande-Valley/blog-361792.html We're spending the week in Rochester with Brad and Mel. It's great to get reacquainted with the grandchildren. We also were able to spend some time with old friends. Hope your New Year is a Happy one. http://www.travelblog.org/North-America/United-States/New-York/Rochester/blog-359028.html We arrived in Charolotte Tuesday night. Yesterday we were able to spend time with Jason Sara and Maggie. She is doing fine. If we didn't know better you would never know there is a problem. You can continue to monitor her progress at httpwww.carepages.comcarepages167211invitations255892ecd7a30481b08adc3947ac57bf872a6263c224f0clientcodedefaultmiv lthttpwww.carepages.comcarepages http://www.travelblog.org/North-America/United-States/North-Carolina/Charlotte/blog-355306.html Many of you have been praying as we were were seeking the Lord's Will as whether we would stay at WRBC or move to Emmanuel Baptist Church in Toledo. After much thought and prayer we have decided to continue at WRBC and not accept the invitation to move to Toledo.While we were in the Cayman Islands we spent many hour reading the scriptures praying and walking around discussing issues related to th http://www.travelblog.org/North-America/United-States/Iowa/Cedar-Falls/blog-350665.html As planned Rich taught the Bible Institute Class Monday Friday. Since he only taught in the evenings we had more time to visit with Ron and Chris and they took us to lots of their favorite places. Of course Ron's favorite places involved steak.Rich had about approximately 20 people in his class. Most were pastors. He taught on There Really is a Difference covenant vs. dispensational theology http://www.travelblog.org/South-America/Argentina/Buenos-Aires/Buenos-Aires/blog-348903.html Chris took me downtown and we had High Tea.

Here are a few pictures of our time. http://www.travelblog.org/South-America/Argentina/Buenos-Aires/Buenos-Aires/blog-346656.html
