Leaving the Desert (not the dessert!)

Dear Friends and Family,


Wanted to give you a little bit of an update of where we're at...

~Mark started his job this week - he is officially TLC for Kids newest After School Educator (sounds official, doesn't it?) :) ...he's planning games, crafts, themes, everything!  so proud of him!

~I (Amy) was offered a full-time job at a great bakery in town - I said we'd have to wait until next week to respond because two days ago I got the option of Full Time Supervisor at my current job! :)

~We found a church - PRAISE JESUS!!!  Seriously, what a long and gruelling process, but we have found a home and we are absolutely stoked!!!  We met with the Pastor yesterday and it. was. PHENOMENAL!  We are very excited about the current and upcoming possibilities with this church ;-)

~We have a small group!  And the leaders are a fairly newly married 24 year old couple who are running Young Life here in Kelowna, what a group to be a part of!  We are excited to dive in.

~Mark will get to join the men of our church in once a week hockey/basketball/soccer - for which he is absolutely stoked :)

~And look at this, isn't this a beautiful image of peace... this is what I came home to the other day.  A clean house (thanks, Love!), peanut butter chocolate chip cookies, and the sun lightly shining on our happy, orange begonia.  :)  Peace... :)


We love you guys.  And we are SO very thankful for your prayers during this time!
