     Published the newsletter from the Baptist church in Macomb, Missouri. Then took care of some domestic chores including cleaning the AC & vent filters in the van and laundry at the Parsonage.

          Tuesday April 14 th ~

     Drove north to Lebanon, Missouri and ministered at the "Northridge Place" assisted living facility. A group of five men from a local church came in just as I got started, who normally hold a Bible study. They sat in on our session, and afterwords visited a bit. One of them (Richard) offered a place to park for the night at his house. Sweet.

     Richard made breakfast for me and his roommate. We said our goodbyes. Then I started north, stopping in three nursing homes before being allowed in to minister at the "Windsor Estates" in Camdenton, Missouri. Gwen (the activity director) actually moved Bingo from morning to afternoon in favor of the Gospel Music. Rare!

     Continued north to Fayette, Missouri where folks at the nursing home have welcomed me over the years with a place to park, plug-in, shower and even provided meals. Sweet!

          Thursday April 16 th ~

     Joined the residents for breakfast. Got in a walk. Topped off the fluid levels in the van. And sang for a large group here at the "Fayette Care Center".

          Friday April 17 th ~

     On to Kirksville, Missouri where I was able to minister at "The Arbor" memory care facility for a lively group. Some of whom sang along with me.

          Saturday April 18 th ~

     Spent the day relaxing at the "Thousand Hills State Park". Rained on & off most of the day.

          Sunday April 19 th ~

     Attended the Baptist church in Greentop, Missouri where I was given the honor of sharing in song and testimony. These sweet folks even put out a donation plate for the ministry. May God Bless Them!

     Crossed the border into Iowa to "Christ's Church" in Ottumwa. At their evening small group meeting I again was given the opportunity to share a bit. These dear folks allow me to park here and even give me a key to access the shower and washer & dryer in the church building, which was originally a large skating rink.

     Got settled-in before some pretty intense storms arrived.

    

And so begins another week.

May The Lord Our God
Guard, Guide And Direct You.
In The Name Of Jesus. Amen!

Your Brother in Christ, Larry Eugene Stevens
