Sunday 13th April

This will be our last blog before we reach home! We are all amazed now at how fast this has all gone. Today was a long day - we began with practices and planning and praying for the morning service. The service began at 10.30 and didn't finish until 2.00pm!!!! It was a great morning, the team did three dramas, two songs and Beth sang a solo - Chris and Richard gave their testimonies and Dave preached. We also were able to bless the folks here with gifts and they also blessed us with prayer and with testimony of how they believe the Lord has worked through us during the mission. Needless to say we felt really, really encouraged. There was a good response to the message too and folk were prayed for at the end of the meeting.
We had lunch at the church before Johnny Blue Eyes came to take us to a rodeo. He first gave testimony of how, after he became a Christian, he had been thrown by a bull and stamped on - he could have been killed and gored - he showed us the jacket which had been torn.
We then followed him into Arizona to the rodeo which was an amazing event. It wasn't a huge event but it was really quite an experience - the team even got a welcome and some of us had good conversations with some of the people there. Everyone was curious about why we were there and so there was plenty of opportunity to witness. We then took our time driving back into Gallup and stopped at a trading post on the Arizona border. The shopkeepers all got given our testimony leaflets!
We finished the day with a meal and then Pam treated us to a dessert - guess what? Mac Flurry's all round - to celebrate her birthday tomorrow (well today your time!)
We'll try and post some photos now - but just to say bye to you and thank you all for your comments - it has been really encouraging to read them each day. Also thanks for your prayers - we've really felt the Lord's blessing.
See you all SOON!!!!!
