A wonderful group of missionaries and pastoral staff we had the privilege to be with.

Carson Fremont preaching in the Spanish service. I had the privilege of teaching Sunday School, preaching, and showing my Cameroon slides in the Spanish service. I enjoyed preaching with the Spanish Pastor interpreting. He had a busy job throughout the week. The Spanish missions conference was happening at the same time as the English services at Beacon Baptist.

We have concluded a wonderful missions conference in Raleigh, NC. Beacon Baptist Church is so missions minded and really took care of us all. They took us on for support late last year but wanted to have us in for this year's conference.

One of the best things about deputation is being able to meet new preachers and missionaries. We met Carson Fremont and his wife, who are missionaries to the Far East. He has been a missionary for over 50 years. He was a soul-winning partner with Jim Elliot. He has been a faithful servant and an inspiration to many. We met bro. Mike Patterson who has been a missionary in Mexico for many years. He has been a help in our research for a translation project in Cameroon. These two men were the Missionary Statesmen of the week!

We are headed to Ohio in a few days for another conference before heading back to Michigan for a day. We will then leave for Wisconsin and Stephen and Tina's wedding.
