Updating again

Hello, have been pretty busy. Thought I would update at least with words. Have not had good Internet connection to upload pictures. Will update with pictures soon.

We have been working several places since F.M.B.C. Manteca,Ca. We were able to attend Bro Rudy Rodriquez ordination(what a blessing) before heading to Landmark
M. B. C. Banning to work on the church there.
We spent 2 and a half weeks in Banning. Richard and John demolished a room to build a nursery for the church there. Also John put in over 17 light fixtures to brighten up the church. We enjoyed our time of fellowship and also being with our kids and Grandkids. We were also close enough to home to catch up on paperwork, Jury duty, etc. People ask where is home these days? Answer: Wherever we are parked or where our church home is. First Missionary Baptist church of Redlands.

After leaving Banning we headed to Calvary M.B.C. Santa Paula where John installed 21 light fixtures. He is just brightening churches all over the state. We left Santa Paula May 12th and headed for Landmark M.B.C. in Lompoc where we are still working. Richard, John and others from Lompoc have painted the whole outside of the building and now are demolishing both bathrooms to remodel and make handicap accessible. John also put in some new lights. I promise to put up some new pictures soon. Pray for us as we will head to F.M.B.C. Pixley Sat the 31st and sing for their Homecoming on June 1st. We will then head home for a quick trip for Dr. Appointment, prepare trailer with all camptown race stuff for camp. Probably make a quick trip to camp and then prepare to take off again for the ABA meeting in Spokane, Wa. After Spokane, we will be working on a project in Chehalis, Washington again where John and Richard will be putting in more lighting.
I think I remembered it all. Anyway, it's good to be busy. We go crazy if we have to much idle time.
Take care and God bless, John and Esther
