This week's services...

Yesterday was such an amazing day! Well, let me back up... this past week was amazing! :) On Saturday Dad went soul-winning and was able to lead a man named Kyle to the Lord! It was so exciting!

There were two baptisms after the morning service: Kyle got baptised and so did Joey! (Joey is Paul's brother..) So altogether this week we had 2 saved, 2 baptised, and 7 first-time visitors on Sunday morning! Praise the Lord! It was such a great day! :)

We had fewer kids on the bus this week, but those who were able to come were soooo excited! We had "Cupcake Sunday" and some of our members brought huge cupcakes from their bakery. (yup, we had some pretty sugared up kids... but they were still good..) So I've been teaching the kids on my bus "The Devil Is A Sly Ol' Fox" (a song my parents taught me a long time ago...). :) Anyways, at the last part of the song we sing:
"...I'm glad I have salvation -
I'm trusting in the Lord Jesus Christ!"
I asked the kids to raise their hand if they had asked Jesus into their heart, and almost every single one of our kids raised their hand and said that they knew they were going to heaven! I was so thrilled! (Especially because I know that it was at Evergreen that they got saved!)

I hope you had a great day in church as well! I have a few pictures from this weekend.. I'll try to post them tomorrow! Have a Happy Day! :D

Sunday Services...

Last Sunday was such a great day! We had two kids get saved downstairs during the morning service, while two adults received assurance of their salvation upstairs! What a blessing!

We had 21 on my bus, and I had 17 kids in my Sunday School class! Another blessing: they were soooo well behaved! (that always helps.. I know the glazed, crazed look on my face after a crazy day downstairs is worth millions in entertainment value, but I love it when my kids are having a good day...) :)

Another blessing to finish the day: Anna, Fransisco, and Belen came to church that night! Mom and I were able to lead this sweet family to the Lord during Wednesday Night Soul-Winning a couple weeks ago, and we were very excited to see them in church with us! :)

Hope you all had a Happy Day in church as well!

Our trip to Ocean Shores....

This past August we were able to get the whole family together for two days and go on a mini-vacation. :) It was soooo much fun and we all had a blast! Here are some pics of Justin, Jeanne, and Joy going horseback riding on the beach. (I would've gone, but I was afraid they would make me wear one of those crazy riding helmets... As you can see, they didn't. Oh well, I'll go next year.) :D

Here I Am!

Well actually, I doubt anyone has been waiting around for me to finally start my blog.... I'm sure you've got better things to do with your time (if you don't have better things to do with your time..... well, don't tell me). But here I am, and very excited to let everyone know what the latest news is in my life and in the Shaver house! Happy Day!
