Sunday night update

God blessed both services yesterday. We had a visitor in the am service and he brought his wife and baby girl back sunday night. We also had another new couple with us in the pm service. 

Stephen preached a great message about the gospel according to Saint Patrick, the people said they didn't know much about Patrick and they really enjoyed learning how Patrick reached so many for the Lord. It is funny how you can live in a place and not know very much about your own history. I know the same is true with so many of us in the states as well, I have to laugh when someone from here starts talking about things that have gone on in the states that I have no idea about. 
I tell you what God was really on fire in the pm service as well, Stephen preached out of Daniel on the ancient of days, I was so thrilled I got to go home with the preacher. The people really got a lot out of it and talked afterwards about how they had never seen it preached that way or understood exactly how it pertained to today's world. We had a visit with everyone after the service, people lingered about chatting and enjoying their tea with some southern fruit cobbler. 
The best part of the night was when David, our visitor from the am service that returned with his wife in the pm service, talked to Stephen about the fact he knew he was lost. Stephen, asked David if they could talk about it, but David said he wasn't ready to saved. After they talked for a few minutes David said he would like to talk to Stephen more about it later. 
Hailey, David's wife was keen on trying some sweet potato pie, so I told her that next Sunday I would make one so she could try it. I don't think that she is saved, so please pray God would open up her heart and I might have a chance to speak to her about it. 
The other couple that came go to a Free Presbyterian Church about 40 min away. They actually meet Stephen at meeting we went to a week ago and wanted to stop in for a visit. We enjoyed their fellowship and hope they come back to see us soon. 
We are so thankful to the Lord for giving us such a wonderful day.
