APPOINTMENT WEEK

We have returned from a great appointment week with the board filled with LOTS of information and excitement for going! We want to thank everyone for their prayers and encouragement throughout the week. We especially thank those who came to Greenville for the commissioning service on Wednesday. We were excited to see everyone. It was a GREAT service and the Holy Spirit was very real there.
Please continue to pray for us and our last couple of weeks in Boiling Springs. We need your prayers as we transition to life in Virginia for 2 months. Pray for good friends for us and for our kids to share in this time together. Thanks Michael and Crystal for the time we spent together this past week. We look forward to being with your family again in April.
Pray for packing wisdom. How in the world will we ever decide what is most important to take. We will be filling up 12 suitcases that can weigh only 50 pounds. We need wisdom for this!
Read Psalm 98: 4-6 and PRAISE HIM!

THANKS FOR A GREAT DAY!

We want to thank everyone at Crestview for a GREAT farewell service on Sunday morning! The gifts from the kids were awesome and all of the well wishes and food and fellowship we will never forget! You are very special to us and we will never forget our times there. It has been a wonderful 7 years. Thanks to everyone who spoke to us on the video and to those who created and edited it! Stan's part is especially memorable. We might try to post it on here when we figure out how to do this better!

We also want to say WOW! What a commissioning service. Several people have commented that they are ready to go to Moscow with us now. Thanks to Crestivew, Pleasant Ridge, and Union, and all of our friends and family for making that an unforgettable worship experience. Every part of the service was wonderful! (Emily, you go girl, you can sing!)

Please pray for us as we prepare to leave for Greenville, SC on Friday. We will be there until the next Thursday and will be in meetings and interviews and rehearsals for the appointment service during the week. The appointment service is on Wednesday, March 18th, and we appreciate your prayers for that. Thanks for you prayers. We love all of you!

Jeremy, Deana, Kellan, and Ella
