The DiZazzos, The DiMinicos & The Boglionis

It sure was great to be with our Italian family again this year in Wichita! The DiZazzos pastor the church here and every year the DiMinicos come down from their church in Omaha, Nebraska and we have a great big time. Several years ago they adopted us into their family as the Boglionis! It is great to be loved.
It's a good thing I love Lasagna!

Terrific Tuesday Recap

Tuesday before lunch Mom and I met up with Kelly Mitchell. Kelly is a great friend and she is a lot of fun to be with. We are always talking about clothes, latest additions to our music collections, and just general life of girls in their 20's. We have a good time together.
We like to shop together so we were able to squeeze in a trip to Burlington Coat Factory T.J. Max. Kelly and I were proud of ourselves for not buying any clothes.
Burlington did have a really cute orange skirt and I left hanging on the rack! I did find a cute white hat and some hair clips that I did not leave on the rack. LOL I snapped a pic of Kelly Ann trying on this hat. I think I will go back and get it for her. I think it looks great on her. LOL I did not get to snap a picture of the heels she tried on.
Dad, Bro. DiZazzo and Bro. Charles Mitchell did a service this morning at the County Jail. Dad said they had a great response. He preached to them about "A Hunger For God". This was the second of two services Dad preached in the jail this visit to Wichita. Dad really enjoys getting to minister there each year!
After our shopping trip and the jail service we all met up at Chedders for a delicious lunch. I forgot to get pics of our food. Everything at Chedders is good!
We had a really good service Tuesday night. It was a pleasure to see our friends The Fellers from Weir, Kansas and The Walkers from here in Wichita! I think Dad took pictures of them on his phone. Maybe he will share later. I did get a few on my camera.
We have one more service of the revival here at Bethany. Only God knows what's ahead. But I am sure it will be great.

Sis. Esther

Revival continues to go well at Bethany Revival Center. Over the years of coming to Bethany we had met many great friends.
Sis. Esther came all the way from Boston, Massachusetts for revival and to be with friends. Sis. Esther is from the DiZazzo's home church in Boston. For years the DiZazzos have spoken highly of this fine lady. We felt as if we were friends before we even met her! So we were so excited to finally put a face with a name.
Saturday at dinner she gave Mom these beautiful roses. She is so sweet!
I think I have met someone more jumpy than myself. I know its hard to believe! Sis. Esther is a good sport about it and we are having a blast with her!!!!!!!
Several friends of come from out of town to visit revival. Maybe I'll get introduce more of them to you later.
Have a wonderful day!

Bro. Chet Meredith

These are pictures of our dear friends the Meredith family on May
10th &11th 2010 in Central City, KY. They came to visit us in revival
that week and as always they were a bright spot in the revival. Their
singing, encouraging words and beautiful smiles have blessed us in
many revivals, camps and special meetings in Kentucky and Indiana the
last several years.

These two nights will always be especially dear to us though. We
had no way of knowing that this would be the last time we would get to
see Bro. Chet this side of glory. Thursday night Bro. Chet passed away
suddenly. For him it was the day he had been anticipating many years
but for his dear wife and precious daughters it is the biggest
challenge they have ever faced.

Please pray for Sis. Beverly, Sis. Beth and Sis. Rachel over the
next few days and weeks. God has helped to this point and they need
that continued help and strength.

As for Bro. Chet, it won't be long Brother and we will see you
again!

Braum's

No trip to Kansas or Oklahoma is quite complete without a trip to
Braum's for a hamburger and ice cream. So after the first night of
revival Pastor John DiZazzo suggested Braum's and off we went. It was
a wise decision. Kelly Jo even found some lime sherbet on a waffle
cone with a total of 4 fat grams. She said it was tasty but I say
Bring on the Chocolate!

What's your favorite flavor? Anybody ever been to Braum's? Leave a
comment.

Flying J Fuel Stop

As Odie posted last night we hit the road yesterday evening a
little before 6:00 pm eastern time. We made pretty good progress even
though it rained most of the time. We arrived in Granite City at
Bethel Chapel around midnight after driving around 380 miles. We left
this morning and pulled into Wichita, KS at Bethany Revival Center
about 6:00 pm central time.

We stopped for fuel today in Missouri. We had plenty of fuel to
make it to Kansas but the price made the decision for me. In Missouri
we paid 2.77 a gallon and in Kansas it was 3.01. That is a savings of
$31! Praise God for every penny that diesel comes down. Our last
three tanks have been $3 a gallon or above.

We start revival tomorrow night for Bro. DiZazzo and we are
looking forward to it. God bless you all.
