GRRROUUUNNNNDD BEEEEFFF!!

Praise Jeesust we slept wonderfully last night!! Such a blessing! Thank you for your prayers and support! We had a fabulous day of making 18 dozen snickerdoodles! Ann Marie LOVED it! And I didn't get one because they were all gone! They really like the sweets here!

Today at the conference they talked about the following things:

• What is love? 1 Corinthians 13
• Depression
• Cancer/Heart Disease Prevention

The Taste of Texas consisted of Kandace's AMAZINGLY DELICIOUS Chicken Tortilla Soup and Ann Marie's WORLD FAMOUS snickerdoodles. And to drink we served lemonade! We didn't quite double as expected, however the numbers were higher than yesterday! Praise! What a blessing! We also handed out cook books that had the recipes of all the food, desserts and drinks we will be making for the women this week. For music today, we had two Estonian folk singers come and share with us. After the conference, they put on a concert. It was pretty interesting to see their style of music and variety of instruments. The ladies really enjoyed it and even sang along!

Now for the kids! Today we had 44 children! We were very excited to gain new friends to play with and we couldn't have done it without our fabulous volunteers and translators! They rock! We told the stories of the Last Supper and Jesus praying in the garden. The kids showed more interest today in hearing about Jeesust and asking questions. Praise Him for curious children! We had snickerdoodles and punch for snack and they ate ALL of it! This resulted in lots of sugar highs! Tomorrow we're serving carrots and water!

Prayer Requests and Praises for today:

• Praise- Jennie's ankle is MUCH better today! Thank you for your prayers!
