After our long trip to New Mexico we did another long haul from Alamogordo to Salado, Texas. However, after the drive, we were able to settle in there for four days at Grace Baptist Church. We did concerts on Wednesday and Thursday night, along with a kids' program on Thursday morning. We had a good audience out for each performance, including people (many of the students' relatives) from the Chuukese and Palauan communities in Central Texas. We are very thankful to Grace Baptist for the use of their church van and trailer. We missed that van when we had to give it back and move all our stuff into a U-Haul. Grace Baptist has been a great partner with PIU the past few years in ministry to Micronesians and it was great to get to know the people a little better. We are hoping to see some students from that area of Texas at PIU in a couple years.
It was good to meet up with Daisy, our Dean of women, again.

The kids' ministry day went very well
The kids all wanted to pose with the VOM team for a group picture. One little girl said that the program was "the best day of her life!"
Learning the worship dance was a very popular event everywhere we went
As usual, Joyce supervised the PIU display and table
It was great to see Aaron, Hollie and Sam Schaub again. They drove all the way from Corpus Cristi to see the concert.
The students also got to see many relatives in Texas.
Thank you friends at Grace Baptist for taking such good care of us!
