| Well, a couple of updates for you today. First, a request to continue praying for Addie. Unfortunately, the fainting spells have continued, with her fainting again yesterday. She has not done it "in front" of us, which is a problem since we need to "see" it to be able to describe it to the doctors better. She has also continued to experience frequent dizziness and "burning" headaches. Also, we had to change one of the doctors due to some problems with him. So, tomorrow Addie is going to be going to McAllen to visit with a Pediatric Neurologist for a consultation. They will probably also be either performing or scheduling her for an EEG and/or an MRI. As far as our ministry here, we did hold our first service Sunday and it went well, though it was just our family present. We did have one visitor Sunday morning before the service, whom I had visited the day before. But, he was just coming by to ask some questions and get more details. It's at least positive that he came by, so that's a step in the right direction. He did indicate that he may be back, along with his wife, and that he might invite some others. We shall see. This week we received the new tracts, and they are very nice. I am in the process of folding them and look forward to what they will be able to accomplish. I am also looking at some other forms of advertising to help people know that we are here. I have contacted the local paper about putting an ad in it, but the paper is kind of expensive. However, in the past they have let me run ads for free, since we're a "church", so perhaps they will do it again. I've also checked on direct-mailing to all of the homes on our carrier's route (about 900), and it can be done for 17-cents per house, so that is an option. I've also checked on a very large road-size billboard (interstate size) about 1/2 a mile from our home, and it can be rented for $200 per month, which is very cheap for that size advertisement. No decision yet on which (or any) of these 3 methods we will use, but they are all being considered. And, of course, we will be continuing with visitation to directly reach out to the people. As for the property situation, absolutely no progress there. The former owner has not returned any phone calls and the lawyer has not responded since I sent her the requested information. The delay is frustrating, but I have to trust the Lord is in control, as He always is! We will keep you up-to-date on everything as we know more. |

Addie is trying a recipe for sugar cookies.
|
She is finding out that dough can be sticky.

Here's her sugar cookies-"before".

Addie Grace understands the concept of "chef's privilege" is one of the best parts of cooking!
|
|
Of course, chef's privilege is the part where she gets to lick the bowl while the cookies are baking!

Here's her sugar cookies-"after".
