Beginning to feel settled...

This past week has gone by pretty quickly.  I had my first day of training for accounting on the 26th of January.  I met with our ministry's CPA and the other woman I am going to be working with.  We spent about 4 hours going through the system and getting trained on all I need to do.  I actually really enjoyed it and am excited to be working in this aspect of the ministry (my mother would say I am not her daughter) :)  Nathan attended his weekly skateboarding bible study and has continued to build relationships there.  A couple in our ministry started a "home group" that will meet on Wednesday nights.  We had our first meeting last night and spent a few hours in worship (led by Nathan), prayer, and spent time giving thanks to God.  We talked about how thanksgiving makes a difference in our lives, no matter what the circumstance is.  Giving thanks helps us remember the goodness of God and it keeps our perspective on Him rather than on ourselves.  It was an awesome time.  Nathan has continued volunteering his time at the GX staff house and has gotten a ton done!  The leaders of GX are so thankful for all his hard work.

These past few days have been pretty slow as we got hit with a big snow storm and were snowed in for a couple days.  A few nights prior, Anna had her first fever, so we spent the weekend and the days during the snow just relaxing and working on things from home. Anna was fine after one night, just a random fever, and she woke up smiling and laughing the next morning :) Thank You Jesus!

Nathan has reconnected with an old friend from when he lived in KC before, and they have decided to meet two nights a week to read the Word, pray, and encourage each other to pursue all that God has for them. We also have a marriage bible study we will be attending on Monday nights.  I am dancing two days a week (Wednesdays and Fridays), and we are continuing to invest in relationships around us, all while we are continuing to work on setting up outreaches to preach the gospel to those who do not know Jesus.

Please keep us in your prayers, as we have our first local outreach this Sunday.  We are joining up with Team Xtreme to be apart of a halftime show during the Super Bowl.  A community center is putting on a  a Super Bowl party and has invited us to come and put on a small performance and preach the gospel during half time.  We are doing one dance and then will have the opportunity to pray and speak with people after they have heard the gospel message.  We are really excited to begin ministering in the area and cannot wait to see what God is going to do.  Pray for salvation to come during the Super Bowl! :)
