A Month in the Life

YIKES!
It’s pretty incredible to check a TV Guide and see your name in print! In our town’s weekly newspaper we received front page coverage about ABC’s Wife Swap re-airing on July 23rd. On the ABC Wife Swap website, our name is listed as the next episode to air. Yikes!

Granted, the media splash was much larger prior to the original broadcast, when we spent days for TV, radio and newspaper interviews, not to mention our favorite with Ninetyandnine. A writer for the Atlantic Monthly also took note.

Please join with us in prayer that other lives will be impacted for the glory of God.

One of the greatest blessings of participating on Wife Swap is the new friends we have made with some viewers. God has opened numerous doors for us to directly minister to people. Yesterday, we received a letter in the Hoover House mailbox from one of these special friends. She has given me permission to blog the note, and I think it will bless you. The following are excerpts, but the entire letter will soon be posted on the Viewer Response Page of the Hoover House website.


From the Hoover House Mailbox

“I had never seen "Wife Swap" before the night the Hoover's appeared on the show, it became quite the talk of the town.

Even though I had seen Kristen many times at soccer games (at our local soccer fields) I did not have the nerve to confront her.

The night I watched the show I felt the Spirit of God so strongly that I just knew I had to meet Kristen and talk with her face to face.

Out of the clear blue one night I was invited to play the piano for a praise and worship service at a Woman’s meeting in a town near Versailles. I was not aware at the time that Kristin would be one of the speakers. After the service I had the wonderful opportunity to have a bite to eat and strike up conversation with her.

Since that night Kristen and I try to have Bible study and prayer at least once a week. My husband and I have had the opportunity to meet Kristen's husband Steve, and NO! he is not at all the dictating husband he appeared to be on the show. He is a very funny and friendly man.

Our family has been honored to attend a powerful church service with the entire Hoover family. We had much fun and felt so at home with them that there is no doubt we have gained a great and everlasting friendship. Not only here, on this earth, but for ETERNITY as well.

Their testimony from the show and knowing them personally has changed the lives of my family...........

Thank you "Hoover Family" for listening and doing God's will.”


And I, in turn, want to thank the Lord Jesus for His amazing works!
