Our schedule is filling up

Hello everyone, Thank you for your prayers and support. We arrived home the 15th of Feb, tired but so blessed. We have a few projects and a few concerts in the works. This is our schedule in the rough.
We brought my Mother home with us to Calif and hope to take her to visit her 2 brothers around our schedule. We will be home a few weeks and John is recruiting a team to make a quick trip back to Queen Creek, Az to install the Duct work within the next two weeks.
We hope to head back to Fresno to help Richard and Robyn paint, finish up electrical and do finishing work on their home so they can get it on the market to sell. Please pray for the sell of that house and we thank the Lord for watching over them as they had some major damage to their 5th wheel on their way home from Arizona.Thank the Lord no one was hurt.
John and Richard are going to do some work on Bro Richardson's home and then we will be heading to Redding, Ca to sing at their Bible conference the 8th-10th of March. We may also go back up to Chehalis, Washington as we have been invited to sing at their dedication and revival the middle of March. In April we will attend the State Assoc. and then the first 2 weeks of May there is another project near Tonapah, Az where the Del Monte M.B.C. church is building a metal church building a little larger than the one we just worked on.
We ask that you keep us in prayer, the Lord has been so good!
God Bless, John and Esther

HAPPY BIRTHDAY JENA ROSE!

HAPPY 1ST BIRTHDAY JENA!
Grandma and Papa love you. Hugs and kisses and see you soon.

Will add more pictures of project soon. We headed to Tucson, Az to Johns brothers for a few days. We will head back to Queen Creek, Az on Tues evening the 13th. John is helping install a new Electrical panel, previous one did not pass inspection. (long story) Pray for the church at Queen Creek and that the inspectors will pass the work done so they can progress further. We are learning inspectors have their own agenda's and can be very discouraging. We know it's all part of the process, but it is discouraging to churches and missions at times. I will pick up my mother from Pheonix on Wed and then we hope to head home Thurs a.m. if electrical panel is done.
Need to be home for our Granddaughters first birthday party.

I'll have more updated pictures soon, The drywall is almost complete and the taping and mudding most of it done. T-Bar is to be added soon. Prayer for this project and the workers, also pray for the church. The fellowship is so sweet and the laborers are few. But the community is taking notice of the work here.
