Dear Friends in Christ,
\n
\nWe are sending this letter a couple of weeks late for a reason.\u00a0 In mid-March, we will be driving back to the east coast for Sam\u2019s mother\u2019s memorial service. We also plan to visit a few of our supporting churches before returning to Arizona.\u00a0 Since we will be on the road for a few weeks, the next letter that we send out will probably not be until the month of May.\u00a0 We are hoping that the storms that have been hard on the east coast will have settled down and winter weather will not be a problem for the roads that we will be using.
\nPlease do pray for us as we travel:
\n
\n1-for safety
\n2-for good meetings
\n3- for Sam as he speaks at his mother\u2019s service.
\n
\nWe were excited during the month of February to hear of an increase to our family!\u00a0 On Feb 8, our 16th grandchild was born, Peter Charles Grammer (Parents-Sam and Amber).\u00a0 Then 10 days later, on Feb 18, our second great-grandchild was born, Oliver Leonard Holton (Parents-Levi and Chelsea Holton\/grandparents- our\u00a0 daughter Faith& Andrew Holton).
\nWe were also informed of a marriage being planned in August of one of our grand-daughters, but we\u2019ll give her some time to share her own news before we give her name.\u00a0 (I suspect that she has already done this, as she seems pretty excited about it.)
\n
\nThe past few weeks, we have found ourselves keeping quite busy.\u00a0 We\u2019ve had several visitors at the house.\u00a0 While we were in Page, we were gone from our home so much that we had few visitors, but I think the news has gotten out that the Grammers are home again.
\n
\nSam has kept busy studying.\u00a0 There have been many opportunities to preach and teach God\u2019s Word, as well as help church leaders with counsel and encouragement.\u00a0 The next couple of weeks, we will be helping a church that is presently without a pastor.\u00a0 There seem to be more pulpits in need of pastors than men willing to fill them; men with serving hearts.\u00a0 Pray with us that the Lord \u201cwill send more laborers into the harvest.\u201d (Matt 9:37-38)
\nPlans are also being made for a trip to Alaska again this summer to make more progress on the building for the radio station.
\n
\nThank you for your prayers and Christmas gifts sent last month, along with your regular financial support.
\n
\nIn Christ,
\nSam & Janet Grammer

\nP.S.- I\u2019ve noticed that our e-mail provider has changed their format and our emails are being designated as \u201cCentury Link\u201d.\u00a0 I\u00a0 have included our name in the subject line so that hopefully we won\u2019t have our monthly up-dates deleted because you don\u2019t recognize the sender.\u00a0 I\u2019ll try to do this regularly so that we can keep in touch with you without having to change providers, since our prayer cards are printed with this address – and to avoid having you make changes when you want to send messages to us.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
