Camp Meeting Singing

My children singing at Clear Fork Baptist Church's annual camp meeting.  They were singing for the churches radio program during this clip :)  This is the first time we have ever been used consistently at a camp meeting before.  But I have to say, it was such a blessing us to be a blessing and encouragement to others.

19 year's ago, God gave us a precious little girl.  It was a miricle really, for the doctors had told me I would probably never have children. Through the years she has brought us joy unimaginable.  We would like to wish our daughter Briana Lynn Faulkner a very Happy Birthday.

Missions Conference in TN

We have had an absolutely wonderful time at the Ridgeview Baptist Church Missions Conference.  This church sure does have a HEART for missions and missionaries.  They have taken such good care of us!!!  The services have done a work in all of our hearts. Bro. Stinnet Ballew preached each night of the conference.  Each message was sent straight from the Lord right into our hearts. 

The church overwhelmed us with all their kindness!!!  They gave us a huge basket of goodies, gave all the missionaries wife's 31 bags with their initials on them, and gave all the children lap desks and blankets (very nice ones).  They also surprised the children on Saturday night, the Pastor called all of the missionary kids to the front of the church. Each one received a wallet or purse. The next thing we knew, there was a long line of people headed towards the kids. They were filling up the wallets and purses with money, each one as they walked by. PTL for His goodness, and for the kindness of these, God's people!!!  Below is a video I took with my camera of the children getting there surprise. 


 
Here is the link to hear all of Bro. Ballews messages from the week of missions conf.

Dixie Stampede 2012


Once again....our home church treated us to a show at Dixie Stampede in Pigein Forge, TN.  It was just an overnight trip with the kids and I.  Brian was with Bro. O'Brien in Kenturcky at some meetings.  I really wished he could have been there too!!! We had a really great time.  It was nice to see everyone from our home church :)  I can never get over how much food they give you at Dixie Stampede.  But it sure is good!!! 


The night before the show, some of us, including our Pastor and his family, went to the Krispy Kreme.  The "hot and now" sign was on, so we knew we were in for a treat! That was the first time I had ever had the fresh hot donuts, and they were sooooo good!   They just melted in your mouth.
 
We also got free tickets to the Mountain Dew glass bottom bridge.  It was alittle scary at first, but the boys had a ball standing on the glass and looking down under them.   Briana wouldn't even walk on the bridge...I think it was alittle overwhelming for her.

 
Since we came to Pigeon Forge a day early, we decided to do some site seeing.   The kids wanted their picture taken in front of the upside down building, so we did.  We also got some pictures outside of the Hatffield and McCoy show.  We never went inside these places, but just got some pictures.  I have always wanted to go to the Old Mill Discrit, so we did.  Got some good pictures of the kids in front of the river and old Mill house.
 
We all had such a good time. We're so thankful to our home church who takes such good care of us!
