Once again I failed to take pictures of another big event. This weekend Seth and I were in the cities where he has been working for quite a while now to attend the Bahram Akradi roundup. Bahram is the man that Seth has been working for. He is the owner of Lifetime Fitness and is quite an important guy. Bahram has been very impressed and pleased with the work the guys have been doing, and it sounds like Bahram has big plans for them. He has pretty much assured the guys that they definitely will not be finished for a while. Seth has been very excited about this opportunity and it has been a big plus for the business. Having a well-known millionaire like Bahram recognize your talents and abilities looks great on the resume. Anyway, we stayed in a hotel for one night (where, like the forgetful person I am, I left our swimming suits hanging on the bathroom door - grr!) and then went to the roundup the next day. He had it hosted in his very extravagent barn, and had everything from pony rides to an ice cream truck. Basically, anything you wanted was there. It was nice to meet all of the people Seth has been working along side of (the gardener, the horsetrainer, the tile layer, the Mexicans, the housekeeper, the secretary, etc. - not to mention Bahram and his brother Bijon [sp?]) as well as to see the beautiful grounds he has been fencing. It really is an impressive fence! It was fun to hear and see people commenting on such a nice fence that isn't like anything they've seen before. Little did they know that Seth, who was standing no more than a few feet away, was the one that built it. Another plus!!! From the way things have been turning out it sounds like we will be staying in a four bedroom town house with Josh and Randi for a little while by the generosity of... I think he's the floor guy - George. He offered it to Seth when he found out that they have been driving back and forth every day. All he asks for payment is that we keep it clean for him. What an answer to prayer. We will still pay him for it, but it is so nice to know that there are no terms or conditions on how long we have to stay in order to rent or any other silly details. Basicallly, it is ours for the using when we need it. PTL! Bahram also offered for us to stay in his half million dollar guest house. A nice thought, but maybe we'll wait on that. Everyone there has been so helpful to us! Truly the Lord has been so good to us. This experience has taught me a lot about prayer and dependence on my Father. There are still many details about this opportunity that we must greatly depend on His leading and direction for.

"Praise God from whom all blessings flow. Praise Him all creatures here below. Praise Him above ye heavenly hosts. Praise Father, Son, and Holy Ghost." Amen.
