Wow, what a weekend!! Our trip to Texas was fun and I believe a blessing to all. We started out for Texas about 4:00 PM on Thursday night and drove through the night stopping only for breakfast in Fort Worth and a 2 hour stop to visit the Alamo and walk the River Walk in San Antonio. We arrived in Alamo, Texas around 7:00 PM, got a bite to eat and found a motel for a good night's sleep. We did a sound check at Bibleville Conference Center around 10:30 and then had some Texas style barbecue before doing  2:00 and 7:00 PM concerts. What a wonderful reception they gave us and what wonderful time we had singing for the Lord.

After the last concert we headed for Austin, TX, arriving about 3:00 AM and got a few hours of sleep before singing at the 8:45 and 11:00 services at Christian Life Church pastured by Rex Johnson. Then it was off to Copperas Cove, Texas to sing at Victory Baptist Church pastured by Mickey Robinson. Victory Baptist is also where my brother, Kevin, and his family go to church and it was a real blessing to share our gospel message in song there.

On our way back home we visited the salt mine museum in Hutchinson, Kansas and had the bus break down in nearby Yoder. Prayers were answered and God was at work because the repair shop had just canceled a 6 hour job because parts had not come in. When we arrived they had a clear schedule to fix the bus and get us back on the road. 

We met many wonderful people at Bibleville, Christian Life Church, Victory Baptist Church and in Yoder as we waited for the bus to be repaired. We saw God's hand throughout our trip and our prayer is that the people we met and sang for were as blessed as we were throughout our trip.

God Bless. Joel Juillard, MVQ
