Fresno: Day 2

Today started out slow but got really hectic right after dinner. We were at the opening session and a huge meet-and-greet thing, too. Of course everyone wanted to see Josiah! But we're now extremely tired.

Thank God two pastors invited me to speak at their churches a few months down the road and indicated the possibility of support. I also set-up a number of face-to-face meetings with key contacts for tomorrow. It was cool to see a lot of missionaries and staff from the Illinois office as well. We even got to see our friend, Lynette, who has now reached 100% of her support and is finally leaving for service in Uruguay! It took her one and a half years to raise the amount of money we have raised so far for our mission to the Philippines.

Many were a blessing to talk to. But some were negative. Pray this doesn't affect me or my excitement for what God is going to do through this week. Pray Christine could get rest so she can watch Jojo during my meetings.

Time for bed. We need a lot of strength for tomorrow.
