The place that we were staying at the past few days did not have internet, so that was the reason for the lack:( The past few days we have been staying with a pastor named Mark and his wife here in Hattieville. It was such a blessing and we are were able to spend time with also his wife and 2 children! Lets just say the little one, he has some dance moves like no one has ever seen!

| Pastor Floyd and Mark helping us with Count Me In |
We went around visiting pastors some more, inviting them to the conference and was able to meet up with some people we did not know at all as well. When we got to church Sunday night, we had like a dance RAVE for Jesus in that church. It was seriously about 100 degrees, and we were dancing like there was no tomorrow, literally! It was so refreshing, and we were so thankful to have that time to be refreshed with the Lord! In the past couple days we also we able to scope out a place to have Count Me In Camp! We were so excited!!!!! We visited a couple places that did not work out at all and we got to the point were I was starting to get a little worried. We know that there are a TON of kids that would come and we were just needing a place to have it. As we were meeting with one more pastor, the Lord just really encouraged us and there was just hope and peace that fell over our spirits. So, as I have been trying my best to make the Lord my first thought in everything, to lean on Him and realize that I am nothing without Him, there is nothing good without Him....we just prayed and asked the Lord to just bless the steps we were taking and to guide us and prepare the way to where we were suppose to go. Then it happened...we arrived at the grounds that was perfect! It was a boarding school....where kids can sleep! They had like 28 acres!!!! They had facilities to hold 200 people comfortably!!!! WHAT! God you know exactly what is best, and what is better than even we can imagine.

| Visiting the Nursing Home with the Lady who Kisses Jesus who lives under her bed |
So today we met with some more pastors and also just drove up to some churches too. We went to an Anglican church and was able to meet with someone that we have never met before and she invited us into her church to talk for like an hour. The Lord is so good and as the Lord continues to do a work to prepare for Count Me In Camp and the Leadership Conference...the Lord also is doing such a work in us as well. The Lord continues to answer Lauren and my prayer....Lord let us die to our flesh and make us one who is more like you, one who is living out of your will alone. It is funny how when we have this prayer....how we can go with it and actually die to ourselves, or we can continue with our lives. It has really been for us...there is no other option but to die to ourselves. There is no where else for us to go, no where for us to run. I feel as though the Lord is completely changing us both into new people, and for that I am so thankful.
Alright, well i just have a couple minutes to leave, but tomorrow, there will be more...and pictures as well!!!!
I really miss you all and thank you so much for your prayers!!!!!!!
