Where are the Smiths?

Wow! It is so good to be able to write to you! I'm not sure who will check this site or when ~ but thank you and I hope you enjoy the adventure that we call the Smith's journey through life.
We just arrived back in Florida after a weekend in the SNOW in Baltimore, Maryland. We were representing Book of Hope at a Missions Convention. We had a great time, sharing the vision of BoH with Church Pastors, Missions Directors, Leaders, College Students and other ministries.
It always amazes me how God entertwines our lives and ministries to do great things for his kingdom and the people of the world.
We really enjoyed talking with the students from Valley Forge and hope that a few of them will join the BoH family for awhile. We were especially blessed by Health Care Ministry Missionary, Ron Drye. Ron ~ thank you for you stories and honesty. We respect you and hope to inspire and help to change as many lives as you and your wife have. JoAnne Butrine, who is now over the Specialized Ministries of the A/G which includes Book of Hope, was also a major blessing.
Our trip was prolonged a day due to the ice storm that hit Atlanta, closing down the airport and apparently creating a power shortage. So we stayed over one more night in Baltimore, visiting the beautiful Inner Harbor and eating at one of Ryan's favorites, ESPN Zone (their chicken/avacado wraps are great).
We made it home in time to check our email and start our laundry and get ready for work tomorrow. We have another couple of weeks here in the States before we head out again. Which is actually a blessing as we have had some water damage in our condo from upstairs and will hopefully have time to get it repaired before we go out again.

Thanks for catching up with us...we hope that you are well and would love to hear from you!
