Closing out in Tucson

I couldn't pass up this hot dog costume at Target for Lucky...as you can see he's not happy to be wearing the "hot dog" lol ~

Autumn, being one of my favorite seasons :0) puts me in the mood to bake more than usual.  So far I've made pumpkin bread, banana bread and strawberry bread.  I also made strawberry jam the other day and it turned out great.  

After nine weeks of revival in Tucson we're moving on.  When we came to Tucson the church had about two people in home bible study. Now they have about eighty people in home bible study.  About forty people received the Holy Ghost during the course of the revival which we are excited about and thankful for!  Now as we're leaving, several of the people that are in home bible study are starting to come to church and get baptized.

This coming Sunday we will be starting revival at Phoenix Revival Center pastored by Bro. McCary.

Fifth Sunday in Tucson



It's been two weeks since I last posted and we are still in Tucson.  Today (or yesterday rather since it's after midnight) was our fifth Sunday with the Conners.  As of Sunday nights service over thirty people have received the Holy Ghost!  And almost as many have been baptized.  So far thirty-seven new bible studies are being taught (of the ones we got in the last three weeks).  Glory to God!
Lucky likes bubbles :0)  The first time I got the bubbles out they scared Lucky and he ran and hid behind the chair..lol  ~ I decided to give the bubbles one more try and the 2nd time he was trying to eat them (see pic)...very entertaining :0)
El Guero Canelo has the BEST hot dogs ever!  If you like hot dogs and you're ever in Tucson, you owe it to yourself to try one :0) Definitely not on the Weight Watchers diet plan :0)

Busy Weekend












WOW!  Busy weekend.  Friday night we got to go to Mexico with the Conners for a special service.  One of the ministers from their church is pastoring the Church.  It was neat.  The service was mostly in spanish so I didn't understand it but an enjoyable experience none the less (the picture of the preachers on the platform was taken at the service in Mexico).    Sunday, we went to three different churches to preach.  Sunday morning we were with the McCary's- www.PhoenixRevivalCenter.org  (pictured in the middle) and had three people receive the Holy Ghost.  We were with the Navarrete's (far left pic) - www.RedeemerMinistries.com  for their two o'clock service and Sunday night we preached for the Combs with several receiving the Holy Ghost.  We pick back up with the Conners this week.

Revival

Friday night we had our first Outreach with the Tucson church and got 70 bible studies!  I'm so thankful for Gods favor!  Now the real work begins :0)
Sunday, once again, we had tremendous services and five more received the Holy Ghost!  God is good.  
Thankfully the weather is cooling off some..five to ten degrees - hey, out here in Arizona every little bit helps - lol..
Labor Day we went to the Conners for a BBQ and had a great time.  Lucky got to go too and play with King (the Conners dog) and got more exercise than he's ever had (in his short ten-month life) in one day..lol ~ when we got home last night I picked him up to sit in my lap and he was limp as a dish cloth...haha

New Friends







We had another great weekend in Tucson. Sunday a total of nine people received the Holy Ghost! It's SO exciting to be a part of Gods kingdom. We will continue revival in Tucson for the time being.
Sunday night we met the Perez's who are out of the Conners church and missionaries to Mexico. Sweet people. Lucky also made a new friend, King, the Conners spaniel :0)

Tucson way

After leaving Phoenix Saturday, we had great services Sunday, in Tucson with the Conner's, where several people received the Holy Ghost - www.ftchurch.org - We're scheduled to be in revival with them for the next couple of services.
Tucson is the second largest city in Arizona with a population of a million.  It's a beautiful place.  The Conner's church has an amazing view of some of the mountain range that you can see on their website.  
Is anyone ready for cooler weather, besides me?  :0)

Has it been three weeks since I posted?!



We've had a busy three weeks.  We went to ARC, got to visit some family & friends,  and preached some too :0)
When we got back to California from Alabama (after a flight that made me think God might be through with us) we preached in LA, Sunday for Bro. Salinas (am svc) and Bro. Elms (pm svc).  Tuesday we started on our journey to Glendale, AZ (church above) where we're preaching for Bro. Garett tomorrow.  We stopped along the way to get the breaks on our 5th wheel fixed.  The thermometer on my car was reading 115 degrees as we were driving through Phoenix...makes the 75 degrees in our trailer feel cold :0)
