We had a great day at church today. Pop preached and did an awesome job, leaving everyone in tears as he talked about Angela's accident when she was 5, and how God is still God in the fears, tears, and cheers. I think they really like the church people here and told them the best thing about being here was not the mountains but the church family. One of the church members took all of us out to eat after lunch. After relaxing some, we all took a 2 1/2 mile walk to the "magic swing" for the boys to play on. Oh, I forgot to mention that the kids did sign art to the song "Untitled Hymn" today at the beginning of the service. There were 7 of them that participated and they did awesome! The congregation loved it as God used the children to bless their hearts! Also one of the kids that participated has only come to church twice (her mom has been wanting her daughter to come ever since we got here but told us she never would come herself)...her name is Olivia and she loves church! She is 6 and she asks so many questions about Jesus and wants to know more and more. After practicing for the sign art this morning, she started crying and saying that she didn't think her Daddy was coming to see her at church today but BOTH her mom and daddy came!! It was so exciting to see them there! You can't tell me that God doesn't use children to draw people to Him!!
So tomorrow we head out to the Grand Canyon!! We may stop at Mesa Verde tomorrow on the way but plan to spend the night at the Grand Canyon and spend the day there Tuesday. Check back for more pics of the trip!
