Time to remodel the church





























Hi everyone,

Wow, I can't believe how we have failed to update the blog. It has been a very busy month.

We finished Nathan and Amanda's last week. We will publish pictures soon. It turned out beautiful.

We are fully involved in remodeling the church in Abbotsford. At this time we have the majority of the demolition and framing completed. It is amazing how the structural changes have modernized the facility. Pastor Will's father in law Gary is also working full time on the remodel. He is a very experienced and capable contractor. It has been a pleasure working with him.

It is a blessing how the timing of this whole thing works out. In June the school where we meet will close for major building improvements. We would have been forced to find a place to meet.

There is excitement about the church in the community. We are seeing many visitors in both the English and Hispanic services.

Winter has been brutal this year. We have had many days below zero and numerous nights between -10 and -25. We have about 16 inches of snow.

Charlotte and Brian enrolled in a massage class in Colby this month. We have always enjoyed receiving a massage, but giving one has been difficult for both of us. We have learned so many things and are now being able to bless one another with the benefits of massage. Our instructor Josiah has been very helpful. We would be glad to share more about this with you.

Nicholas, Joshua, and Samuel will attend Winterblast at Believer's Church in Marshfield next weekend.

We helped Becky move to Marshfield. Peggy's upper apartment will now be rented out.

Micheal's employer wants him to relocate to Wausau, WI by June. What a turn of events. Only 8 months ago Peggy and Michael were in Bakersfield CA and we thought we would seldom see them.

We are all doing well. The kids are growing up so fast. Rosa speaks well now. Nicholas is turning 18 in July.

We are so glad you take the time to check our blog. May God richly bless you according too His riches in glory!

In Christ

The Haines family
