Sandy and I visited the home mission work in Exeter, Rhode Island this past weekend. We had a great time with Bill and Christy Reynolds and their 4 children. Bill is a Rhode Island native, so he fits in well. He is doing a good job building a church there. That includes literally building a new church building - Bill was the General Contractor (and main laborer). They finished it in August, 2012.
Here's a picture of the outside of their beautiful new building.

| Nice looking big parking lot |
 |
| Big fellowship hall with great kitchen |
 |
| Auditorium seats 250 |
 |
| Nursery - I like the lettering |
 |
| Bill's son, Billy, plays the guitar for service. |

| Here's Bill leading the service. |
 |
| Christy did a great job playing the piano! |
 |
| Bill's daughter, Michaela, is on the right playing the keyboard. |
 |
| Greeting time. The church averages about 70 on Sunday morning. |
 |
| Tommy and Sue Goodfellow had helped work on the building last year. Now they have moved to Rhode Island to continue to help the church. I would love to see more people do this. The Goodfellows are the parents of home missionary Dawn Elliott in Quebec. |

 |
| They twisted my arm to be a judge in the pie contest. You can see that I really hated it. |
 |
Tommy Goodfellow hated it, too.
We loved spending time with the Reynolds family. The children are respectful and yet a lot of fun.
Bill and Christy are dedicated and hard working. They are also down to earth and humble.
We appreciate the great job they are doing! |
