A busy September





Hi everyone,

I know we always say this, but once again, everything has been crazy. The boys are in school full swing, and the business is very busy.

Last week we built a deck in Marshfield and we are doing roofing and siding work on another hail damaged house and garage in Colby.

In addition to these projects, we needed to service a regular customer who had water damage to a kitchen floor. On Saturday, Brian and Andrew did subfloor and vinyl flooring in a large kitchen, hall, and bathroom. They also installed a patio door. They needed to remove and replace trim and bathroom fixtures.

The weather has been great. Our September has been dry and warm. It has been good work weather.

We are excited about progress at the church. The Hispanic church has needed to move into the school as they have outgrown the Gathering Place. Our service is at 9:00 and theirs is at 11:00. This creates new opportunities. For the last two services, our worship band has been able to participate in the Hispanic service, coming aside with Ricardo in providing a more established service. It is exciting to see what God is doing.


Nicholas, Joshua and Samuel will be going to a Fall camporee with their scout troop this weekend.

The church is also praying about the purchase of a church building in Abbotsford. The building is a traditional building, 10000 square feet and in good structural condition. It will need some updating including roof repairs, main floor bathrooms, handicap access, carpet and paint and possibly much more.

We are still planning to escape winter. We are planning on returning to south MS after Christmas, but are also praying on possibly going to Galveston, TX. We want to be in God's will, we do not care if we are in Biloxi, Galveston, Colby, or Africa as long as God is with us. It seems to make sense for us to return to south MS, as we have a network of relationships there. The needs are still high there.

We are also excited to be planning a vacation to Lake of the Ozarks MO from Dec. 5 to Dec 12. We were able to book a very nice condo. We feel very blessed.

We were declined on the offer we placed on a house in Colby last week. We did not accept their counteroffer.

We had visits from Peggy and Michael, Nathan and Amanda, Uncle Bill and Carol this weekend.

Thanks for checking in on us.

In Christ

The Haines family
