What a fabularific week. It's December 1st, Advent has begun and we have snow and a back yard to sled in. We went door to door delivering invitations to a Christmas Open House. We decorated our Christmas tree. We named the new church. Can it get any better than this?!We have had several inquiries regarding how we are doing with our support raising and prayer team. We are doing well. We are now only $100 short of our monthly support goal this year. GO GOD! He is SO good.
Things we would love for you to be praying about...
- Please continue to pray for us as we meet people. We are making many friends who don't share our love for the church and we are having a blast getting to know them. Several of them will make up our home group after the first of the year.
- We are having vehicle troubles and we need our van specifically to hang in there for another couple years. (We also need continued wisdom for how much to put into sustaining the live of the van.)
Thanks again and we hope you are enjoying the Advent season. Getting ready for Christmas. Getting ready for Jesus.
"Behold, I bring you good news of great joy! The people who hear the news of that first Advent were no less human than we. ... There were groups of people, shepherds, the Magi, innocent children; there were individuals, Zachariah, Elizabeth, Mary, Joseph, Simeon, Anna, Herod. Some concluded their preparations in faith. Some in fury. ... So let us enter the story one more time. In this present season of Advent let us experience the infant's Advent in the past and so make ourselves ready for the Advent of the Lord of Glory in the future."

or "tremenderific!"
or "spendiforous!"
