A Trip to Disneyland!

Last weekend we were given the chance to go to Disneyland! It was a late celebration of Tim and Noah's birthdays. Some family friends, the Swensons joined us as well. It rained that morning, but it was only a light sprinkle and soon the sun came out to make it a beautiful day. The plus was that the rain was enough to keep people away and the park was not crowded at all. We were able to walk right on to many of the major rides that usually require a long wait. Here are some pictures from our day.....

Noah walking into Disneyland with my friend Carrie.

 At this point he looks like a little bee in his yellow rain jacket.

Our group in front of Sleeping Beauty's Castle. 

(Usually this kind of picture is impossible because of the crowds!)

My dad with Micah is his little plastic covered stroller to keep out the rain. We were so thankful that he actually took naps while we were there! 

Micah and Papa getting ready for a ride to see Nemo in a submarine.

Noah in an A. :)

Getting ready for a ride on Dumbo! 

This was probably one of Noah's favorite rides.

Noah's other favorite ride....Autopia! He even got to help daddy drive.

This was probably the highlight of Noah's day. He got to meet Minnie and Mickey!

Enjoying ToonTown.

It's Been Awhile...

Well, it has been awhile since we have posted on here....mostly because there hasn't been a whole lot to say! We have enjoyed the down time being with our families and trying to get settled in. Although, it looks like we are up for ANOTHER move! It is wonderful to see how God once again provided for our needs. Some good friends of ours, Doug and Evie Swenson are allowing us to stay in their home for the next several months. They are staying in a small addition/apartment that belongs to another couple in our church and allowing us to use their house! We are overwhelmed by their generosity. Staying in their home will allow us to spread out and figure out what of our things we need to keep for the field and what to get rid of. We were also in need of a place that we can entertain people for meals as a way to reconnect with those in our home churches. Their home will answer these needs and much more. 

We are feeling overwhelmed by all that needs to be done in this time of preparation to go overseas and in raising support, but it is wonderful knowing that we can rest in God and his timing and provision! We are also looking for opportunities to share what God has laid on our hearts and about the ministry we hope to take part in. If you know of any small groups, Sunday schools, or churches, etc. please let us know!
