All aboard! We are all packed up in the motor home en route to Washington D.C. area. We were anxious to hit the road again. We will have services next Sunday in Woodbridge, VA which is only a hop-skip- and a jump…25 miles from the nation's capital. We've had a wonderful 2 months in Florida. God opened up so many doors of personal ministry to so many who needed encouragement. With the crisis America is going through, everyone needs encouragement…including us.
Greetings! What an action-packed two weeks we've had. On Feb 28th, Larry and I flew from Orlando, FL to Houston, TX. We were picked up at the airport by Pastor Richard Amador. Talk about Texas hospitality, he and his beautiful wife, Joyce were wonderful examples of it. They took us to an authentic Mexican restaurant - talk about delicious…and a good heartburn too -Ha! Pastor Richard and his wife are so filled with zeal and excitement to win the lost. On Sunday morning we ministered at Son Harvest Church in Crosby, TX where he pastors.
It's a beautiful sunny, Florida day! Coming from the frigid Midwest, Larry and I don't take this nice weather for granted. Last week we had a wonderful Sunday morning service at New Hope Church in Winter Haven, FL with Pastor Dennis and Delma Gipson. We've been coming to this church nearly every 2 years since about 1995. The church continues to grow with lots of children, teenagers, and young couples. When Pastor Dennis introduced us he said, "Larry and Gloria Lundstrom really don't need an introduction…when they are in the area I always invite them to come to our church because I know they will give a clear salvation message and an altar call."
Valentine's Day is almost here. Every year when this time comes, it takes me back to when Larry and I were in our "dating days". Yea….I know… that was waaaaaaaay back! Regardless, I vividly remember our first date, our first kiss, and our first Valentine's Day together as a married couple in February of 1966 in the state of Texas. We were young newlyweds and we were just beginning our hearts' journey.
We have been blessed to have celebrated 43 Valentine's Days together and we pray that God will allow us many, many more. I learned long ago that what drew us together was passion---but what has kept us together all of these years is compassion.

Greetings from Florida! How blessed we are to be in a nice warm climate right now. The sun is shining, the palm trees are waving gently in the breeze and we are soaking in the 81 degree temperature. The setting is quite different than when we wrote the last "On the Road" report from South Dakota a few weeks back.
Happy New Year… blessings on you! The curtain of 2008 has dropped and 2009 is ahead of us with all its joys and challenges. December rushed by so quickly. On January 1st I began to de-Christmas the house. That was emotional. We prepare, decorate, bake, wrap gifts, cook, and BOOM, Christmas comes before we are ready and is over before we are ready. We were so delighted that our family all made it home.
We have just passed Thanksgiving and the Christmas season is now in full swing. The month of December will whiz by with all of its Christmas festivities. Speaking of events and festivities, Larry and I made a trip to Minneapolis to celebrate the Thanksgiving holiday.
We've just closed a chapter on another wonderful summer of grand parenting. We were so privileged to have our 10 year old granddaughter, Myanna, with us since the beginning of June. Many of our family and partners are blessed with ten-twentysome grandchildren…we have only two, but there's enough love for twenty! For the past 15 years we've taken one, or both, of our grandchildren with us on the road; living with us in the motor home and being with us for two-three months.
Some of the most successful men and women in history have credited their success to the guidance and prayers of their parents.
What are my priorities? To be honest, I think this was the most difficult question that I've ever had to answer as a wife and mother. I was constantly confused. I just didn't know what mattered most! So many things seemed so important. I knew that God came into my heart when I was eight years old. I knew that God called me to be a minister's or evangelist's wife. I knew that I wanted to serve God. I knew that I wanted to get married someday. I knew that I wanted to have a family and be a good wife and mother. How could I combine all these wishes and still come out shining like a star?
