Post-Seattle Trip Update

Hello all, we got back late Sunday night from our first trip to Seattle! Right when we arrived on Saturday afternoon, we were whisked away to a home where we met about 10-15 of the search committee and had a 2 hour Q&A time. After that, they welcomed us with a nice homecooked meal...then we were whisked away again to another home where we spent time with about 15 junior high kids and a few of the parents. We played games, shared our testimonies and Glen spoke a little from John 15 (Christ being the vine and we being the branches). On Sunday, we had a tour of the church, sat in on a Sunday school class and observed the worship service in the sanctuary. Our final destination was to the Pastor's home where we ate lunch with he and his wife along with the Associate Pastor and his wife. It was a great time of hearing more about the ministry at Faith Bible Church and their hearts for the people there.
Overall, we had a wonderful experience! The next step is for us to fly out there again on April 19th/20th to go over more detail about the position and salary/benefits. Thank you for all who thought and prayed for us! We will definitely be keeping you updated as things continue to progress. We would be thrilled to serve alongside this church if God wills :).

By the way, we had our 6 1/2 month check-up and baby BOY Thompson is active, strong and moving all around. We have a good three more months to go, can't believe it!!

How exciting about your trip to Seattle. Thanks for posting as God works in your lives and leads you to a place of ministry suited for you. And those last 3 months will just fly by! You'll be holding your little guy before you know it!
