Church life - Since the last post, five have joined the church. Four of those were as a result of baptisms on Easter Sunday. On that Sunday we knew several guests would be present and we prayed that the Lord would do a mighty work. One of those guests came to Bible study that next Wednesday to begin "Experiencing God" with us. On Friday of that week the woman accepted Christ and then made a public profession of faith the following Sunday! She will be baptized on Mother's Day. We praise the Lord for His work and are blessed and encouraged as a result. The next big event for the church is vacation Bible school, June 15-20. Please pray that the Lord will draw children and their families to Himself during this week.
Subbing - Jane has subbed eight times since our last update. While we're thankful for the extra income, it has been challenging to be busy with subbing and still keep up with other tasks. Since this is the last month of the 2008-09 school year, there shouldn't be too many more sub jobs before summer vacation.
School - Nicole's school held its annual music/art/science fair last month. Nicole exhibited a robot she and a classmate made, kids sang, and art was proudly displayed.
Softball - Nicole has joined girls' softball. This has kept us on the go with games on Mondays and practices on Tuesdays and Thursdays. (Would someone tell the photographer she can get closer and avoid the chain link look?)
Outdoor Work - The warmer weather has allowed us to reclaim the backyard from Jake the dog. We've reinstalled above ground irrigation pipes that he enjoyed playing with this winter. We'll soon reseed and fertilize. Jake is now assigned to the side yard, only to play in the backyard when we're outside with him. This will enable us to grow a small garden in the yard without the prying paws of a playful black lab.
We'll that's about it. We'll try not to wait so long before the next post. Thank you for your continued prayers. We love and miss you.

It is good to see how things are going witht the Fiscus Family in Pioche. I agree with Jane - it is a challenge to keep up with life and maintain a family blog too. Ours has not been updated for months.
Blessings,
Eric
