“Perfect obedience would be perfect happiness, if only we had perfect confidence in the power we were obeying.”

Do not know who originally said this little gem...and I pretty much DON'T feel qualified to expound on it...yet would love to hear your thoughts.

Pizza, laughter, and visitating...

We(the Navarrete family) had a great time just hanging out and doing email and eating pizza and watching TV and playing board games and eating homemade blackberry pie at teammate Bethany Dean's house last night! It was the "relax and laugh a little time" before the next busy month.

We are so excited to just list our plans for you:

April 24-May 1 Shelby Road Baptist Mission Team will be here: they will participate in Youth Group, Couple Meeting, Ladies Bible Study, Church services, Cirenia and Juan's wedding, do painting and odd jobs at the church, do basketball camp, visit Missionary Baptist Church in Valle Dorado and visit with the Navarrete family! Are you tired already?

Church activities in the next month are:

Usual: Kids Club, Men's meeting, Women's Meeting, Youth group, Thursday Ladies Bible study, Special events: a wedding, and an outing to a river on May 9 for baptism of 9 brothers and sisters in Christ!

May 5-18ish: visit to field of teammates Joe and Heidi DePuy,

Wedding Bells and Basket balls...

Next week Shelby Road Baptist Church will be sending a mission team down to help at the church. They will paint, do basketball ministry and be part of Juan and Cirenia´s church wedding! Juan and Cirenia had civil wedding years ago, but never a church wedding. They were both saved in the last year and will be baptized on May 9. They want their life in order so they will be married at the church on April 26. Please pray for their unsaved family members who will attend. Please also pray for the SRT as they form friendships and minister with the church.

Is that the sound of wedding bells I hear.....

Several weeks ago I was bugging some of the older singles at church that I was in the mood for a wedding. This past Tuesday teammate Bethany Dean and long time friend, Kurt Gomez, announced they will be getting married the end of this year!
