Pastor Don,
I don’t know if you got the email below earlier in the week, so I thought I would resend it from this site. Was watching the news last night (1/4/07) and it looks like you have been getting somre rough weather. I pray that the tornados left you alone and all the projects came through OK.

I finally made it back to work yesterday (where I have internet access) and uploaded some of our photos. I tried to put them together to make a bit of a story line and the images may be of interest to other groups coming in so they have a better idea of what to expect. Feel free to use these photos and link to my photo page in any way you feel benefits Lakeshore Baptist Church. If you have any suggestions for the photo captions, let me know and I’ll edit them. If you would like a CD with all the photos we have (about 220 images), let me know. The ones on the web have been reduced in size by about 50% so they down load faster and you may need to have access to the larger images. Thanks

I was so moved after meeting the people in this community that they have remained in my prayers and dear to my heart. […]
