Safely Home — Conference Report

This was posted on by .

We are home safely after our quick weekend trip to Jefferson City, Missouri. The drive went smoothly, and before going to the church, we dropped off our bags at a cabin someone graciously let us stay in. After getting to the driveway for the cabin, it was determined that Uriah wouldn’t make it over the cattle guards, and since the family had offered to “ferry” (aka – drive their vehicles down to the cabin) us and our luggage down to the cabin, we went for that option.

Set up went quite smoothly, especially since it’s been several months since our last conference. It dawned on me Friday night that we have 7 weekend conferences right in a row—I knew our trip was 5 weeks and 16 stops (including Jefferson City), but I didn’t realize that translated into 7 weekends 🙂 .

We had a delicious Mexican dinner provided for us before we started the conference Friday evening. Our music time went well—and we enjoyed sharing with those attending. Saturday went by quickly, and in between the sessions, we were each blessed by our conversations with other families. We found out that one family came all the way from Nebraska for the conference—they drove farther than we did!

Little ones always brighten the day. One young boy asked me how many miles we were going on this next trip, and I told him that it would be eight thousand (!!). A few minutes later, he was talking to John, and this four-year-old informed him that we would be going a quarter of the way across the world 🙂 .

The little girl had showed Dad some pictures she had drawn. Dad was encouraging her to keep practicing, and he showed her the drawings from the Schools book.

We were grateful for the “loading out” help two families gave us, and we were on the road around 5 p.m., with a break outside of Columbia for dinner. It’s hard to believe Friday starts the beginning of the five week trip—we’re all excited and looking forward to what the Lord will do in these next weeks.

We would appreciate prayer as we prepare for the big trip! More pictures coming on that this week!

The instruments were carried in Saturday evening, and here is a portion of them!

  2. Sarah, What great pictures! I absolutely love the one with the little barefoot boy with his thumb in his pocket. Everything about that shot is so precious.

    I really enjoy following the blog. I wish we lived closer so our families could get to know each other and have fellowship, but its encouraging just to know of likeminded people from all over. My family was so blessed to meet ya’ll when you did a conference in our Texas town.
    May God bless your ministry and travels.

    PS… I’ve been blessed by the “Ambassador” posts. They’re based on one of my favorite Scripture passages. The posts are quite thought-provoking.

  3. we will be keeping you in our prayers as you travel these next few weeks. prayers for a safe trip and that many families will be touched and blessed by the minsitry you bring to their lives. may god’s light shine through you and touch all those you meet. blessings.
