We have moved to Texas and Scott has become the Pastor of Faith Baptist Church in Kilgore. We have been here a week and a day, and it has been a very busy week at that. We got into town on Monday we went to the apartment that the church had rented and we all said there is no way. So we began our hunt on the 1st day of the month trying to find a decent apartment to rent. The Lord truly was with us and we were able to find a three bedroom/two bath, that it just about as big as our home in Belleview was. Moved in on Tuesday evening the 2ND and have been trying to put our touch on it to make it our own. It is coming together somewhat. We were welcomed into town by the church giving us a "pounding" (they bought staples flour, sugar etc.) to help us fill our kitchen with goods. What a blessing that was! Then on Saturday night we had the pleasure of attending our 1st Christmas party with the church and we had so much fun with all of the white elephant gifts and all the trading and swapping! At the end of the party they presented Scott with a whole new suit, shirt, tie and shoes. Very nice! They gave me a gift card for $100 and boy did I have fun spending it. On Sunday morning they presented Scott with a new Scofield Bible with his name "Pastor Scott Thomas" printed on it. I was given a dozen roses, they are so beautiful! As you can see we have been very Blessed already here in Kilgore and we can't wait to see what else the Lord has planned for us. We will post pictures soon of the first Sunday, apartment, Christmas party and whatever else has happened in the last week very soon.
