We finally got some winter weather here in Montana! We got about 8 inches of snow over Saturday and Sunday. Both of our Moms wanted to know if we cancelled church. The Huttons, whose usually 30 minute drive into church took them 1 1/2 hours on Sunday would have been very disappointed if we weren't there for church! Our attendance was down a bit, but cold and snow don't stop us up here!
Monday the snow clouds cleared out, so thing got pretty cold. When we left Columbus at about 2:30 pm it was a balmy -4. We went to the state evangelism conference in Bozeman. That night in Bozeman the temperature dropped to -25! The coldest it ever got in Helena was around -15, so this is my new coldest temp :) You may not believe me and may roll your eyes, but not having humidity makes the cold much less cold, just like it makes hot much less hot.
Michael and I are full of ideas of things for the church to do to reach out to the community and get involved in the community, but we are having to hold ourselves back a bit. We don't want to overload the church and we want to make sure ALL the families are getting involved, not just the usuals. We are excited about what God is already doing and we are looking forward to having our first new membership class sometime soon.
We love you and are thankful for your love, support and prayers.

You are absolutely right about humidity; it really does hold the temp--hot or cold. We cancelled everything here last weekend; I was so mad--what whimps we are! Do try and stay warm. We are praying for you all in this new ministry and are confident God is going to do great things in you and through you! Love you much, C
