Trip to Minnesota


            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
