I'm finding it difficult to remember to post something each week. Since my last post we went to Bremerton, Washington which is located in the beautiful Puget Sound. From there you can take a ferry to Seattle. Pastor Craig Houston and his family took us to see some of the sights of the city and we spent a few hours enjoying the educational experience of the Seattle Aquarium, one of the best I had ever visited. (In the picture, we are in front of some fountains at the waterfront sampling Seattle favorites: rain and Starbuck's coffee.) Our host family, the Vinosky's were great! They gave us a driving tour to see some of the natural wonders of the Sound and its islands. Westside Baptist Church in Bremerton is an exciting and growing church that obviously enjoys great fellowship. Most people stayed around for a while after services talking with one another. We were the objects of great hospitality, food, and friendship. It was terrific to get to know this church that has been a faithful part of our support team for almost 20 years. We are happy that our relationship with them has grown and will continue. The church also pledged a generous contribution to the building project for the church in Manta.
We returned to Tennessee and enjoyed being there for the week prior to Easter. Our daughter Ashley took her vacation from school to visit us. It was great to see her! Then on Easter we had the privilege to attend services at Gospel Baptist Tabernacle in Crossville, TN with Ashley and Joy's mom and dad. Now we are in Michigan, preparing to visit two churches in Southeastern Michigan on Sunday, and another one on Wednesday.
