Whats happening at New Testament Baptist

Hello all,
Its been a little over a month since I wrote last.

We've done a lot of things as a family over this last little while and a lot of exciting things have happened at NTBC as well.

My family and I went on a little trip into the Seattle, WA area for a wedding making a stop at some friends on the way. It was a good trip overall but we did encounter many problems on the way (eg. Clara throwing up on the table at the wedding reception, car troubles 1500 km from home, myself coming down with the stomach flu, etc). Having said all that it was still a great trip.

I have been working hard between my job, studying for messages at NTBC and my Bible college correspondence course from Crown College, and trying to make family time. Emily has been a great help to me trying to assist wherever she can. We did, however, have a 2 week period where our whole family was sick with chest colds, stomach flues or both so that put a few things on hold. Now we are all doing great and things are getting back to normal.

At NTBC we are gearing up for our annual Welsh Memorial Good Friday Fellowship. It should prove to be a great day of preaching and fellowship.

We've really had some blessings in the last little while. James solidified his salvation at Chill-out and was baptized last Sunday. Donny and Crystal got saved last Sunday morning after Mrs.Coldwell went through the plan of salvation with them. Donny was baptized in the evening service after Pastor Coldwell was able to talk about salvation and baptism. Praise the Lord!!

We had a sound system donated to NTBC back in the fall but were unable to get it going as neither Pastor Coldwell or I know how to set up sounds boards, etc. A couple days ago a friend named Harry came and set it up for us. This will really be a blessing for some of the older folks that could use a little extra bit of wattage to hear the preaching :)

Well, I had better get going and get ready for church. Hope to see you out!
