 Jana got her picture in the BP!  That's her on the right.

So it's a really old story, and they didn't get the name of the town right (why would the Coeur d'Alene Ironman competition be in Hayden?)  Still!  Jana's picture is in it!

I don't know why they didn't ask me for a quote.  I actually went on a appreciation cruise with the president of Ironman and a bunch of other dignitaries.  Doesn't that count for something?

Seriously though, it was a huge deal and just the beginning of how we want to impact this community.  Plans are already in the works for next year, so please pray that God will use this ministry to draw people to him.

If you are curious about about what the Sanderson's have been up to lately, here are a few pictures. This one is from our cruise around Lake Coeur d'Alene with the IronMan staff. This past week we volunteered for the IronMan competition that was held here. Over 2,000 athletes competed from all over the country and all over the world. In the midst of all the activities, we have had a little unpacking to do. I think there may be just a few boxes left. On Saturday the church and mission teams here helped feed pancakes to over 1,000 people participating or helping with the IronMan. This week please pray for us as we are helping with a VBS at another church in our association. That Artic Edge song will get stuck in your head. Beware! We are so thankful to be here, and we are really thankful for your prayers. Come see us! We miss you already. May God be gracious to us and bless us and make his face shine upon us, that your ways may be known on earth, your salvation among all natio...
