Current progress

I am doing well. I preached for the second time this Sunday. Yes it was on Joshua 1:1-9 again, but it was a totally different congregation and a slightly different sermon so it's okay, I promise! A lot of missionaries tend to preach the same message tons of times when they come back to the states because they're typically in so many different congregations that they all need to hear the same message. Any way, Brian Thomas, the missionary I'll be serving with in Macedonia is flying in from Michigan this weekend to meet me and speak at my 2 home churches. I'll admit that I'm a little nervous to meet him. He'll be the authority over me for the next 2 years and that should put a little righteous fear in any man I think. After this weekend, I'll be at my church for Easter Sunday (more than likely at least), but the following Sunday I am scheduled to go visit a church in Shelter Cove. I won't be preaching per se, but I will be assisting the pastor with his sermon illustration. He's preaching through Acts and he will be at the part where Paul gets his call to Macedonia. I don't really know what I'll be doing, but I know I'll be allright. I'm really looking forward to it. After that, I don't have anything scheduled until the 29th where I'll be teaching Sunday school for 2 Sundays. Then I have another bye week, and then I'll be in Montana for a wedding. The following Sunday, my girlfriend will be arriving (a few days before of course). This takes me through May with only 2 weekends off. It's exciting to be doing this kinda stuff. I haven't even called the pastoral friends that I have in Fresno, Stockton, Castroville, and Morgan Hill. Wow, I'm going to be busy! But hey, that's how God is working and raising up support for my trip and I'm very grateful!
