Can I say that?  Long story involved but things went pretty well for the start this morning.  The people are wonderful, so kind, and responsive and I think we&#8217;ll have a good week.<br \/>\nTonight&#8217;s crowd was down, according to the pastor, and he was disappointed.  Obviously, we have nothing to base everything on being that it&#8217;s our first visit.  We were really hoping to &#8220;hook&#8221; the kids this morning and by doing so, they would want to come back and would pester their parents.  Then&#8230;&#8230;we&#8217;ve got both.  Well, it didn&#8217;t really work that way this morning if tonight&#8217;s crowd was any indication.  We pray that will change tomorrow night as we hopefully add some visitors.<br \/>\nApparently there is a big baseball tournament in the area and the hotel does not have a room for us tomorrow or Tuesday.  We will be checking out tomorrow morning before going to the Association office to speak at the Monday morning pastor&#8217;s conference.  Guess a couple of my &#8220;guys&#8221; will show up and we&#8217;ll have a bit of fun before going out to eat lunch.  From there we will head to the hotel we reserved (this afternoon) about 8 miles away.  Hey, such is life!<br \/>\nWe sure appreciate your prayers as we continue this work!<br \/>\nJohn<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It was a unique day today. Can I say that?
