An Overdue Update

Hey guys! It's been a little while since we've updated the blog. Forgive us for not being as consistent as we'd like. Things get busy as we work, do awesome ministry, and do great things together as a family. Here's a little update on how things are going.

First and foremost the ministry has been incredible! God is doing great things at Remedy church. This past Sunday we finished out our first month of IGNITE outreaches. God has done AWESOME things with these small efforts to glorify God. We have had several opportunities to share Christ, hand out bibles, and lovingly serve the people of Missoula. Lots of people have seen Jesus through His people as we've completed the first leg of our IGNITE outreaches that will take place all summer long. We have also been VERY encouraged to see lots of new people coming to the church and staying to call Remedy their church home. There are new families, couples, and college students alike coming and being ministered to at Remedy and we've been so blessed to see God at work. It is sweet to see God doing all of these amazing things in spite of us. We are nobody special with no special skills or knowledge. We are just some people who love Jesus and are passionate about serving Him by serving His people. God is being faithful to honor that and we're grateful for that.

On a family note we are continuing to have an incredible time in Montana! This past weekend we packed up with the Wise family and went camping in the Rock Creek area of Montana. We just went for a one night trip, but it was great fun and we can't wait to go again. We set up camp, had some campfire fellowship with s'mores, and had a great night's sleep only to wake up to a BEAUTIFUL Montana morning. It wasn't too hot, and it wasn't too cold. We will definitely do more of that in the weeks to come. This weekend we look forward to seeing a good brother from Albuquerque, (Ken Kestell), who happens to be in town for a few days. We'll barbecue with him on Thursday, and I'll go folfing (Frisbee golfing) with Nate on Friday in the morning and then spend the rest of the day with my kids. We have plans to float the river on Saturday, which we are ALL really looking forward to. One of the things that the kids have been looking forward to since before we moved here is floating the river. I went for about a 5 hour float when I was here in July of last year and it was AMAZING! I had so much fun and can't wait to take my wife and kids this weekend. Then of course we'll rock Remedy services and I'll spend the 4th of July with my family (and probably some friends). I wish you all a good 4th!

So, when are YOU gonna come see us? We would love to have some visitors. We can't wait to show our family and friends beautiful Missoula. You better start planning soon, because the summer is the best time to come so we can get out and have fun. Don't wait till next year! Come soon! We love you and miss you and hope to see you all soon. I have an iPhone 4 on order and it will arrive in about 2 weeks. Once I get it I'll be able to record HD video on my phone and upload it directly to this blog. I really want you all to be able to see the kids and to hear our voices. We miss you all greatly and look forward to seeing you all soon. Love ya and God bless!
