Hello everyone! If you haven't heard already, Joey and I are expecting a baby! We are very excited. We are now 15 weeks along and our next scan will be at 20 weeks and we will be able to find out the gender of the baby. Going to the doctor and everything is very different here. It is almost scary for me but I know that God will get us through whatever happens. We do ask that you continue to pray for us as we enter this new stage in our lives and marriage.
We have just had a fantastic week with friends from home! Macedonia Baptist Church came for a visit and we had a lovely time with them! They came to help us with the work we do and also to paint. They also got to see a few things around Birmingham and got see Warwick Castle. I think they had a good time and we certainly did. Of course, some things were a bit stressful at times but stress is my middle name! They really encouraged us in our work here!! And we are very appreciative of that! Just a little bit about what they did...On the Saturday that they were here our church was doing a dramatic reading of the book of Mark outside on the forecourt, which Joey was involved in. They were able to pass out Bibles and tracts to people passing by. Some of them had great opportunities to talk to people. They came in with loads of stories to tell. Inside though most of the girls and I got to spend the morning with children. We did some crafts and things inside with them. It was a lovely day! And on Sunday they were able to see what a British service was like and they were even involved in a few ways, which was good! We definitely had a great week and we can't wait until the next group comes! But until then we will carry on with the work that God has for us!
Also please pray for me! I sort of got myself into a funny situation with a family at church. Some of you may know what I am talking about.I would rather not go into to details now but the Lord knows exactly what has happened. I really know that I did the right thing but right now it is hard because a few people aren't very happy with me and I struggle with that. So please just pray that God will work things out as they are meant to be.
We love and miss you all!
By His Grace,
Joey and Brooke
