POST CONVENTION NEWS #2

I guess I forgot to post some belated convention news...
BTW we had a quiet and uneventful convention, food was good as always thanks to the awesome cook crews headed up by Ali Squires and others, weather was very harsh in the -50's which was a shame for those travelling and we did not get as many guests as we would have - had the weather cooperated...
If you want specifics on the words you can contact LWM to get them...I believe Whitestone Farms has them on mp3 format.
here is a short report from Sarah...


**************


This morning dawned beautiful, moonlit, ice fogged, and very cold.  Andy said our low was -54°.  Right now it is still a crisp -41°. 

Convention is over and most everyone has gone back to their respective homes, except the ministry who traveled on today to Haines.  Bro Ernest and Bro Joe stayed with us.  They were up and ready to go well before their ride arrived.  I’m trusting that one of them will check in to let us know that they made it there safely. 

Yesterday we had one meeting but we still managed to have four speakers.  Amazing!  Paul Basalyga led worship.  Before taking the children out to practice their play, Bro Dick Kunz quickly told us that it isn’t good enough to know the truth, we need to buy it with paying the price.  Bro Ernest in few words said be alert to the night and of what is going on in the darkness.  He exhorted us to love spending time with the Lord and to love His gospel. Andrew Giles preached on the immeasurable power that God brings through the blood of Jesus.  Bro Buddy closed by telling us that we are in daily jeopardy because now we are responsible for what we hear. He said we learn about God through our natural understanding; but the Spirit reveals God by the way, the truth, and the life. 

Last night we had a nice meal with the ministry and some of the Whitestone guests that had spent the day with us.  Bro Dick and the kids did a small play on David and Goliath before singing us a song and playing a song with their colored bells.  A good time was had by all.

Today has been day of rest for most of us here.  It is a good day for resting since it is too cold outside to do much.

Oh, by the way, the sun came up over the mountains today!  A beautiful thing when the sun appears!

Have a great week!  Sarah
