Joshua's baptism and Holy Ghost report!


Well what a wonderful time we had at Apostolic Conference. Words cannot express the gratitude that I have for Pastor Jerry Dillon family and Parkway Pentecostal Church family. The conference was AMAZING and very timely. I will right more about the conference and our experiences later.


Joshua received the Holy Ghost with the evidence of speaking in other tongues! He told Ezra and I, he thought he spoke in two different languages. He told us how tears ran down his face and how he said in his mind that today was the day he would receive it. Nineteen children received the Holy Ghost at the conference. Everyday while we were in the main sanctuary the missionary children had children's church under the direction of Rev. Oliver and family! What a blessing it is to be involved in children ministries. Joshua said, his heart was clean and would like to get baptized in Jesus name when we got home.


So we arrived at the airport on Sunday at 1:00p.m. and came home got cleaned up and went to New Life Center where Josh would be baptized at our good friends church, Rev. Andrew and Shawnna Buxton. To our pleasant surprise Josh wouldn't be the only one getting baptized but Cole Buxton too! Andrew preached an awesome message about the body of Christ and a first time visitor received the Holy Ghost. It was so beautiful to see tears roll down his face and him shake under the power of the Holy Ghost. It was awesome!!! Many other people were touched in the altar and I believe the Lord heard their cry! Joshua got baptized first and came out of the water speaking in tongues again and then Cole after him. Please pray that the Lord uses Josh in a mighty way. Pray that the Light that now dwells in him would draw many people to the cross. My heart is filled with gladness and I rejoice today!

We were in Vancouver, Portland, Aurora, Seaside, and Canon Beach. Whew, what a busy schedule we had. It was well worth it though. Oregon is beautiful in the summer and they have such beautiful breath taking sunsets. On the plane ride over to Oregon the twins had a blast and even got captain wings. Way cool! Josh was nervous, which surprised me because he has flown several times. I held his hand and he seemed at ease for awhile. We arrived in Portland and spent the majority of our time at Ezra's

SeaWorld Bay of Play

We got an invitation from Sea World to check out the new kiddie area that is opening up today for members only. The official opening is tomorrow and I can only imagine how packed that area is going to be. The theme is Sesame Street! We were planning on taking the boys, but the weather is very windy and there are chances of thunderstorms. I think we'll visit the Bay of Play another day. On another note, I'm very pleased to hear the children from the Polygamist group will soon be reunited with the mothers. I didn't agree how it was handled and felt horrible for the children. No matter what those are still their parents. I can't imagine the trauma they went through with the militarized police squad showing up on their property and having to endure living with complete strangers. What amazes me even more is the fact that they did it over an anonymous tip that happened not to be true. What a shame! I must admit I have followed this case very closely! I have scoured the Int

Congratulations Michael!

Michael is my baby brother and today I wanted him to know how thankful I am for him. I have wonderful memories of Michael that I will share today. Memories that I will forever cherish. Since Michael was a little boy he has always had a drive to be the best and do his best in everything he put his hand to. He always had a drive to win and if he lost everyone knew it. I still have vivid memories of Phillip another one of my brothers holding Michael at an arms distance by his head with Michael's arms going a hundred miles per hour trying to hit Phillip because he just lost the game. We could see the wrath of Michael coming and we would split as far as we could from him because he would go berserk! It really was hilarious. That is just one of many funny stories I can tell you for now. Micheal has always been independent and very disciplined. He is a hard worker and intelligent! Last week Michael finished with a Bachelor's Degree Majoring in History. He finished it at a private coll
