Fennimore, Wisconsin

I just began what will become many weeks of traveling. My first stop was in Fennimore, Wisconsin. I arrived on Saturday night and I must say it has been a great week. I have really enjoyed staying with the Swan family. I even had the fun opportunity to chase a few cows that got out of the gate. (To tell you the truth I did not chase anything. I just stood there while Chris ushered them back. :) I also had the opportunity to attend an Amish auction. I wish I had pictures to share because it was quite an experience.

I have really enjoyed meeting and getting to know many people in the fellowship in Fennimore. They really have a passion for our Father that is contagious. They have been such a blessing to me. Many people in the fellowship have a burden for a young lady named Sheila who came from China 8 years ago and opened a Chinese restaurant in town a few years back. I had the privilege of spending some time with Sheila and conversing with her in Chinese. I think it was a lot of fun for both of us. Please keep Sheila in your thoughts. I am hoping that someday in the near future we will be able to refer to her as our sister.
