It took us about six hours to drive from southern Virginia back to Maryland only because we stopped several times looking for things which we did not find at particular stores.  In Waldorf, MD, I was looking for a quilting shop only to find it was no longer at the location.  Guess I will find another one sometime.

This week was not busy, so we stayed here and got caught up on things.  Henry was working with Joe on getting the car he wants registered.  Friday he drove to Waldorf early to get it registered.  Matthew was to also go there and get his tags renewed.

Tomorrow we head to Rhode Island for a Sunday meeting.  The first month here is coming to a close rapidly.

We had a terrific time at the Eastern Shore Baptist Church over on the Eastern shore.  The Rediger's are long-time friends and it was great to renew acquaintances.  Dr. Creed preached the services all about faith promise giving.  The church had a goal of just over $27,000 and the final count came in at about $31,000!
God is good and it was such an encouragement to the church.  I'll write more and post photos later. 

We had a meeting in Hampton Roads area of Virginia on Sunday evening, so we had to leave Eastern Shore right after the morning service.  We got down there about 5:00 p.m.  Again, this church was so on fire for God, it is so good to see.  We connected with several people we knew from years ago at our home church and met a couple of Japanese ladies.  We felt really at home there.  Henry preached the evening service on the topic of using our talents for God. 

After service we stayed with a family from the church.  Mr. Alger is a manager at Waffle House restaurants in the area and so his his daughter.  They are terrific folks.  They moved to Virginia recently and bought a house right near the church.  We had a great time of food and fellowship.
