It's official....

Mike accepted a pastor position! We went yesterday to a small community church in Milano, Texas. It was in a beautiful part of Central Texas with lots of trees and rolling hills! The church was so cute too and we were greeted with lots of friendly smiles and hugs and welcomes. And, of course they just loved Miss Bella! She looked so cute in her little dress and cardigan! (We went shopping on Saturday for her!) She did great in church too and just watched her daddy as he led the singing (he's doing music too) and then ate while he was preaching. At the end of his sermon, she was getting a little fussy so I was playing with her and put her up on my shoulder. Like her usual self, she looked at the people sitting across from us with those huge eyes and started smiling. So, more people were looking at her than at Mike. It was funny to see them all look at her and smile and play back. Mike did a great job preaching, and people commented on how they enjoyed his sermon, and then they voted him in unanimously. They were such a sweet congregation too so we look forward to being involved and seeing what God does in us and through us there. Mike preaches every other Sunday at Liberty Community Church which allows us to stay connected with our FBC family! On our way home, we were talking about how great God has been to take care of us like He has. We truly are thankful. We went to eat with Auntie Alli who captured these great pictures of us. Thanks sis! This coming week is Bella's dedication at FBC Belton so we'll keep you posted about that.
