On June 1-5 we were in a Mission Conference at Maranatha Baptist Church in Newburgh, IN. We met so many wonderful people and made many new friendships! The theme was "Send the Light." The Conference Speaker was Pastor Scott Baker from Belleville, Illinois. The other families who presented their work were the Johnsons to Lithuania and the Fannings to Bolivia. It was a special blessing to be able to spend so much time getting to know the families of the church and also the other missionaries!!
