A busy month

Looking back over April, it was great...and just packed. Had quite a bit of rain, and lots of beautiful days too. Spent so much time outside. Started out with the very fruitful celebration of Easter that everyone else has mentioned, then when we got back to Shaoxing, decided to pick up the pace a bit and get some more momentum...ate out or together at home with about 10 different folks over the course of three weeks, some were believers, some were just acquaintances that we wanted to gauge their interest level. Wang Hao and Lucky are both progressing nicely, we did several studies and conversations with them over the course of the month and they began worshipping with us on Sundays. Started reading Tim Kellor's the Reason for God with Grace. Jason played music with some friends in a coffee shop one night last week, and it gave Cecely a good chance to talk with some of the girls who had come there to listen.Ended the month with a nice overnight visit with Joanna, and a visit on Sunday for worship and lunch afterwords with Arily and King. Very impressed with Arily these days. Says she has been attending church in Hangzhou quite often. She and King both seem to enjoy the study more than previously. This month we have done more Bible lessons with Phoebe, attempting to teach her some key characters and simple memory verses. Also, we have been looking into preschools for her in the fall, and been working on potty training her. It is all going fairly well, but pray for all three of us, because she is quite spirited. We enjoyed April, and look forward to the blessings that we trust May will bring.
