I can't remember all of the names that had preached but i know of Mark Rogers, Jim McGaughey, Dan Something, Paul Heaton, Dan something. Then there was a father and a son, and both of them were preachers and they both got to preach a good bit the one was older and it was really cool. Stephan and Mickey Carter they were really cool.

Here in Toledo Ohio!
I was thinking today that I will post today when I had time and then probably when i get back home i will do this again. Wow what a day so far. We woke up around 9 and was wanting to get on the road about 11 ans we were getting things packed and everything so we were getting later and we left about 11:45 which i guess wasn't bad but I would have liked to leave a little earlier but it was ok. We were coming up here and it was really nice time with my Dad we talked a good bit. The sun was shining and it was nice and then it started getting a little darker stated raining a little bit and then it started dumping bad. Then it was turning into hail and it was pretty big hail coming down i was surprised. it was almost marble size it looked like, but everything worked out. We got here around 5:30 and then we checked into the Hotel and then we had to hurry up and get the things out of the car and get ready and everything. Then we started to leave the Hotel and the door wouldn't lock. Then we had to call down to the desk and we had to change the rooms which was kinda inconvienient but it was alright. we made it there on time and it was an amazing first night the services started at 6:30 and then lasted till 6 or so and then we went to the gym for food. we have to pay for the night food, but for the morning and Lunch meals they are free and the best. I like them alot. There was a group of singers there tonight though and they were really good. Their was a boy and 4 girls and they didn't miss a note the whole time. sounded professional. it was really nice i liked that too. well then my Dad and I talked to pastor Snow and then Dustin got me to go to his table so i went over there and it was ok. Then Joel called me and i felt really bad because I had to go and we didn't get out of there until late so I couldn't call him back so I was a little upset about that but it was ok we had good fellowship and good preaching for the first two messages of the conference. I am sure there is more on the way. Well then we got back to the hotel about 11 I think somewhere around there and we went out to Wal-mart (Shanes favorite place) right Shane ?... and then got a few things and back here again to stay. My dad is sleeping right no and we have Wi-Fi here at the Hotel so this is pretty neat. Anyway i have a long day tomorrow so I am going to bed I will try to post agian this week but if not when i get home. Until Next Time.

Late Night!
Well it is 2:30 here but I have not been posting as much as I wanted to. Well the last time I had posted I did have allot of prayer request. I wont have much in this one I don't think.
Well anyways tonight I conducted the whole Wednesday service it was really neat I led the song and then did my message and then i took prayer request. I guess it might not sound to exciting to all of you but it really was for me. This break is going by fast. I will be going to Ohio on Monday. That will be a really good week I will actually sleep there probably. It will be nice there will be 3 preachers in the morning and then there will be 2 at night will some special music and congregational's so it should be a fun week.
Another thing that happened tonight. Pastor Snow ( A Pastor Friend) called me and my brother and was asking if we would be able to go and unload a U haul. and we told them that we would so he was like well we will call you when the truck gets to the storage place. So we went down there and it was about 11:30 when we got down there. We looked at the U haul and I thought that it was going to take a long time to unload, but Pastor Snow had called more help than us so there was a couple of other guys that was helping which was good. I liked that kind of work though allot better sitting around doing nothing. so we got home at about 1:15 or something like that. And while we was loading th stuff in the storage we heard a cat and it was getting louder and we thought that we had trapped a cat in all that stuff. and so i started looking here it was on all there stuff stretching out on the side of these peoples mattress and so i went over there and was trying to get it down and then i finally got it and jumped on a pole to put it back over the fence to try and keep it out. but a few minutes later we saw it walking toward us so we were just scaring it away, but it worked out well I think that I am going to go to bed. Quick update on my Granpap. He is now in the Nursing Home and is not doing the greatest but of course with what he has he wont be getting much better anyway. Only God knows. Just pray for the Lord perfect will to be met in his life I guess. Well I think that I am going to go to bed early tonight Talk to you all soon.

What A Week
This is probably not going to be a very long post but i wanted to post some things that are going on here.
This week i had started back to work which is always good. Getting to see the people that you know again. Please pray that i will have oppertunitys to witness to these people. The Highest manager there at Burger King is a Christian. It is really nice. sometimes we talk about the bible and things like that it is really neat to be able to talk to someone there about that kind of stuff. Kathy (another manager) she always will ask me questions about the bible because I am in Bible College. That is something that opened allot of doors to wittness. There is another guy there and he work from like 10:30pm to about 6:00am and he comes in and we talk about things of the bible sometimes too. He is unsaved he thinks that your are able to get to Heaven by being a good person. We have talked about those things before but pray for him as well.
Well tuesday after I got off of work my brother called me and was wanting me to meet him up at the Hospital. So I met up with him and was going to go see my Grandpap. He is in real bad shape. He has COPD along with his suger problem and he just found out that he has this staff infection. He had gotten this from the hospital the last time he was in i guess well they had just found out tuesday. This infection is trasferred through the air. We didn't know that when we went in but then they told us to ask the nurses if we had to put something on to see him and they made us put on these masks to go see him. He was really happy to see us, but he is in bad shape I know that.
Then Wednesday we went to church and it was really good my pastor is amazing. He was talking about how sometimes that we go into church without being prepared to receive the message. And many time that is the case and he was talking about people always saying that they are not getting fed and he was saying how that they were not coming to recieve the message. Sometimes it is just what we do I guess. Just go through with the motions and not really get anything out of it. Then he was talking about us in our devotions and how that we don't get anything out of them because of the same reasons. It was really good. Well it is now Thursday but nothing has happened right now. Well I got to go Until Next Time

Memorial Day
Well today was a really nice day. Me and my family was planning on going out of town but instead we went to Pastor Snow's house for a cookout. There were allot of people there. A couple of family's were there that had just been lead to the Lord not to long ago. The one women got saved after the New Year's service, She was there. It was fun though. Pastor Snow is going through a rough time right now though. He has been in Cumberland for about 7 years now, and his church was finally growing and they had the oppertunity to rent for really cheap this one building. They were working on it and fixed it up a good bit, but the people that owned it decided to sell it and they finally go it sold. Now they have to be out by June. This really has him discouraged. Please pray for him that he will be able to find a builing pretty easy. He is having allot of opposition right now. The Lord knows best though
Well today was my first day back to work. I made a couple of mistakes but not to many it was good to see some of the people that I had been working with please pray that I will have oppertunity's to give them the Gospel. Well that is all for now i have to go down and work on my car. Until Next Time!

Good Week!
Well I guess I will start over since the computer is trying to be difficult. I did have allot put down here but I guess the computer didn't like what I had to say ;) Well as I was saying before I was rudely interrupted by the computer, I had met with my pastor Wednesday night and he was talking about the things that I would be involved in this summer if I was interested and of course I told him that I was. And he was giving the suggestions about building up the bus ministry and the youth group which need some attention, and then talking about preaching in church and Jr.church and filling in for a Sunday school when I am needed to and things like that. I don't actually start doing all of this until June so I have time to get some things together. I would like to be as prepared as I can be. I don't want to take this opportunity that the Lord has given me and waste it. The Lord has been working in this. And is a very good opportunity that I have. I am excited to see what the Lord will do this summer!
Well yesterday and today I was working for my Uncle Steve and we were doing some landscaping doing mulch and shoveling and moving stone. We (Me, Ronnie, and Uncle Steve) had moved about 96 buckets of stone ( each bucket was about 80 pounds I believe so that was interesting. It was fun though I like doing stuff like that. My Uncle as far as I know is unsaved. They go to a church, but am unsure of what they preach. I think that they do believe in salvation, but does not have a good stand on the Word of God. Please pray for him and his wife for their salvation.
Well I think is about time for me to get ready to go to bed so until next time ... Bye.

Finally Home!
Well I am now home, And I have been since yesterday but I didn't get a chance to post yet.
Well to start off I had a good week at School for the last week it seemed like it was a short time at school this last semester, but it was a good one. Some things didn't work the way I had wanted them to but the Lord had taught me some good lessons along the way. Getting back to the last week of school now. We had allot of different things going on. We went to Cabelas, that was a really good time to hang out with the guys before they graduate. Then we got back to school and we had pizza that night it was a good day. Then that Thursday was graduation which was pretty good. The graduation last year was allot longer. There were only four graduates this year so it was not as long. Then there was a fellowship afterwards so that was a good time as well.
Then that Friday morning all of us from the college went out for breakfast before we all went our separate ways. As for Me, Seth, Shane, and Joel, we went to a cabin up in the mountains with Seth. It was a really good time. Shane slept most of the time trying to get some sleep that he lost the previous night staying up all night talking on the phone. Saturday we went out to shoot Joel's guns and I didn't do so good I think that I may need to practice up on that. Then we went back to the cabin and ate Lunch and then that was when Joel and I went out on the canoe it was a good time Joel was really funny, but he always is. That was about all that we had done that was interesting for that day.
Sunday night we got to go to Mt.Zion Baptist Church and it was an amazing service. I really like the message that Pastor Randy Starr had brought forth. The message was called "Overcoming Fear" That was a good message That I really needed. There were some things that I had to get right in my own life. Also I had to come back here and try to overcome some of the fears that I am facing. I have a meeting with my pastor Wednesday to talk about the position that he is giving me so that will be good I was talking to him Monday but he wanted to talk to me at church. Please pray for me doing this ministry. This is one of the fears i have is doing the youth. but when God wants us to do something new we have to overcome some fears please pray that I am able to. I know that the Lord will give me the strength I need for this task.
Well being home I have not been doing much since I have gotten here just getting to talk to my family again, and things like that. I need to unpack more things so far i had just unpacked all the things that have to do with my computer so I still need to work on that. Getting in touch with some of the friends I have here.
Next week I will be getting back to work Four to midnight again most likely. Then I am probably going to try to get another job but I don't know whats going on yet.
Well I had spent allot of time on here I need to get doing other things until next time.
