Hello everyone. We hope you are all doing very well. We just
wanted to give you an update on how our honeymoon/trip to Minnesota went.
We
had a wonderful honeymoon. We spent our first two nights in Howell, so we were
able to go to church on Sunday, help clean up at the farm, and spend some time
with Nate’s family before we left for MN. Monday we drove to Grand Rapids and
spent the night at Julianne’s grandparents’ house. There we opened our gifts
and cards and just finishing getting everything ready to leave for Minnesota.
Tuesday night we drove up to Nate’s sister’s cabin north of Big Rapids and
spent two nights there. Wednesday we visited Julianne’s family, who were
volunteering at SpringHill Camp just a couple miles away from the cabin. It was
nice to get to spend some time with them as well before leaving. Thursday
morning we woke up bright and early to start our drive north into the UP. We
went up to Munising, which is right on the coast of Lake Superior. We got a
little camping spot in Pictured Rocks National Park and set up our tent before
we headed out to hike and see some of the beautiful waterfalls and rock
formations in the park. Friday morning we woke up early once again so we could
get to a few more sights before leaving for Minnesota. We drove through
Wisconsin and arrived at Julianne’s other grandparent’s house late that
afternoon. We spent the night there with them and the following morning as
well. Then we left for our final drive to get to the Youth With A Mission base
in Rockford, Minnesota. We arrived and right away started to unpack all of our
stuff and set up our little apartment that we will be staying in.
We are very happy with our little
apartment and are very excited for our classes to begin. We have a few prayer
requests that we would love for you to pray about for us. First is for us and
our classmates to quickly get to know each other well and come together as a
family. Second is for us to be able to listen and hear God’s direction for us
on what He wants us to do for the outreach phase of the class, which starts in
September. Thank you all so very much for all of your support.
Love
in Christ,
Nate
and Julianne Gibbons
