Aberdeen, South Dakota

Ted & Michelle's quest house.
Figure I'll include this intro a few more times

Time for a change.

The ministry continues.

However, the newsletter will be going through some changes.

No longer “Larry's Weekly Update”.

Now it is “Larry's Random Newsletter”.
.
I hope to be posting about those I meet, as well as special or unusual happenings when and as it seems appropriate. Basically moving away from a Journal type format toward a more experiential approach.

In the last newsletter I shared about Ted in South Dakota.
     One more praise:
He and his wife Michelle own an unoccupied fully-furnished house which they maintain for family and friends to use as needed. I just got to spend a little over a week there. Used the time as a working vacation, finishing up one writing project and starting two more as well as recording some songs with the webcam.
And of course some rest and relaxation with room to spread out in the house, taking a break from the confines of the camper-van.

Look for these messages on the Blog and Facebook.
Also, video's will appear on Facebook and YouTube.

Tulare, South Dakota

Time for a change.

The ministry continues.

However, the newsletter will be going through some changes.

No longer “Larry's Weekly Update”.

Now it is “Larry's Random Newsletter”.

I hope to be posting about those I meet, as well as special or unusual happenings when and as it seems appropriate. Basically moving away from a Journal type format toward a more experiential approach.

For instance: 
I am now in Tulare, South Dakota where many years ago I met Ted at the “Redfield Baptist Church”.
He has provided support in many ways through the years, including a set of tires, the necessary documentation for a drivers license and registration on the van.
He even pays for the yearly tags and mails them to wherever I'm at.

You can imagine what a blessing this has been.
So in a small way I wish to thank and praise him for what he's done.

Look for these messages on the Blog and Facebook.
Also, pictures and video's will appear on Facebook and YouTube.
