Mid-May Update...

Kelly's teaching at Generations went very well. Thank you for your prayers!

Kelly is now done with all of his classes... with one possible exception. He turned in his doctrinal thesis last week and asked to the teacher to let him know what corrections were needed. At this point he has not heard back from him... so we're thinking that it's good! Yeah! Praise the Lord! Kelly has finished well! Graduation is one week from today!

On May 24-27 we'll be up in Bishop. We will be experiencing "Mule Days" for the first time! This town of 3,500 turns into 35,000 for the weekend as mule lovers from all over the world descend upon Bishop! Check it out! http://www.muledays.org/

Kelly will be preaching on May 25. He planned on speaking about donkey's in the Bible, but as the time got closer, that wasn't feeling right, so he will be in John 15 instead.

Three weeks from today is Suzanne's last day at Eastside. She's taught there for 14 years, so it's both exciting and sad! The staff had a celebration for her at their staff meeting this week... she felt loved and appreciated! :)

Suzanne is still plugging away at packing. She's trying to be really organized, which makes it take longer... but it will pay off!

She has decided to get rid of her Dell desktop and laptop... so let her know if you're interested in buying either at a good price. :) She's also decided to say goodbye to some of the craft things she's not used for years... keep your eyes open for a blog listing those items! If you are interested in rubber stamps (& stuff!) or scrapbooking supplies (books, refills, adhesives, stickers, paper, etc.)... let her know! She'll make you a good deal! She also has some really big (several feet tall and across) established Plumeria trees that she will sell (pink, red, yellow, rainbow, white).

The laundry room/pantry is now painted. Little by little we're plugging away! Still praying for the right buyer... but I guess we actually should have it on the market! Someday! We still have a few rooms left to paint... and that's getting done as time allows.

Thanks for all your prayers and words of encouragement!
