Day Zero Progress, May 13, 2013 (Day 29)

8 Find a new church - The boys sat with us during the sermon during Mother's Day this weekend and they really enjoyed it. It's here if you're interested: http://foothillschurch.com/experience/sermons/ . David is going to attend base camp (with or without be, depending on child care) in the next few weeks to make sure this new church believes what we do. If that's the case, I think we've found our new home...still kind of missing the old one, as well.
