Aug 14, 2006 Notes from the Hardistys

Greetings to all. We had a wonderful time of fellowship and ministry in Chambersburg PA. The Lord had opened up an opportunity for us to spend time with Jim and Jean LaValley who were missionaries in the Philippines from the late 60 until the mid 80s. It was good to visit with them and we were much encouraged. We were privileged to speak at the assembly they attend in Harrisburg PA at their Wednesday night prayer meeting. Then we spent the weekend in Chambersburg with Dr. and Mrs. Underwood, transplants from Birmingham Alabama, so we very much enjoyed a weekend of fine southern hospitality. On the Lord's day we had the opportunity to speak at the assembly in Chambersburg on the subject of Ruth, then in the evening we spoke at the assembly at Greenwood Hills Conference Center.
The following day we travelled over to NJ and are currently staying at CMML and speaking to the various assemblies in NJ and NY. We had a delightful conference in White Plains one friday evening, it was hard to be so close to home and not be able to drive the extra hour to New Haven. We have had a busy schedule these last weeks since arriving at CMML, and are so thankful to the Lord for the many doors of opportunity He has opened to us to share from the word, and of our burden for the work in the Philippines.
Thank you all for your prayers. We will try to keep you updated a bit better in the days to come. Access to a computer link up have not always been available, so we have fallen a bit behind on our updates. We continue to see the Lord's hand at work, and are more confident than ever, that we are following His direction for this stage of our lives. Keep praying as we have a long way yet to go....
