Holley Update

Well, it's General Conference time! Gene and I will be heading out EARLY Tuesday morning. Our plane leaves at 7:00, so we will have to leave the house about 5:00. I'm looking forward to conference. I'm sure it will be a good one.

We were in Quitman Friday night and Saturday for the Kid's Day. It turned out very good. Keith and Carla really have it together! Their church was wonderful in doing the things that needed to be done to make this a successful endeavor. Our hat is off to them and the work they are doing there.

We got to see and visit with the Prince's while we were there. That was great! On our way home we stopped by to see their home - it is beautiful!! We are very happy for them and excited to see what God is going to do in Bullard.

Mom and Dad came in Friday before we left for Quitman. They will be here through General Conference to take care of the boys and Cookie. It's always good to see them and have them here with us.

We had a really good service this morning. Just a great presence of God in the place. Tonight we were at Bro. Bernard's for service. All of our people except one were there with us tonight. It was a communion service and we wanted our church to take part in that. This was a very special and sweet time together. God is moving and we know we will see new one's born into the Kingdom in the near future.

Cameron and Chad are doing great. They are a huge asset to our church. Cameron helps me tremendously by playing the bass, and Chad is helping in many areas (and will be helping before too much longer on drums). We are very proud of them and the way they have adjusted to a new way of life.

Just wanted to send out an update of things that are happening around here. We will be having our second outreach day on October 7. Pray that God will send us to homes where people are hungry for more of God!!

I know there are several of our "home folks" that our keeping up with us here - feel free to say hello and make a comment back to us. We love you all and miss you! Come see us sometime!!

Gene and Karla,

It was GREAT having you all here! It was also good to have Kenny and Karen with us on Saturday. We had two of the neighborhood children in S.S. and service with us that were there on Saturday. We also had two new adult visitors there. Sis. Chrissy was sooo excited to have 2 new ones in S.S.!!!

Have a great time at General Conference,

Keith and Carla
