We
had such a great week!
We spent last week Friday through
Monday in Grand Rapids with Julianne’s family. We rode with Julianne’s Baas
grandparents from Minnesota to Michigan. On Saturday we had breakfast with
Julianne’s Lanning grandparents. It was a nice time of catching up with them.
That afternoon we went downtown GR to look at some of the art pieces at
ArtPrize. We saw an exhibit of a bull moose being attacked by eight wolves.
They were all real animals that were now stuffed. It was incredible! On Sunday
we went to church with Julianne’s family. After church we had lunch with
Julianne’s extended family. It was a great weekend to spend with her family.
Monday morning we ran some errands that we needed to do in Grand Rapids.
On Monday morning Nate’s parents
came to pick us up from Grand Rapids and take us to Howell. We went out to
dinner with Nate’s family on Monday night. It was good to catch up with his
family. Tuesday morning Julianne went to the women’s Bible study with Nate’s
church while Nate went with his dad to pick up a cover for his truck bed. We
spent Tuesday afternoon FINALLY looking through some of our wedding photos. On
Wednesday we picked up Nate’s absentee ballot. We went to his church that night
to visit with friends there.
We left to return back to Minnesota
early Thursday morning. Nate’s parents drove us back to the base. We spent all
day Thursday in the car.
Friday we were able to sit in class
again with the students. This past week they had been learning about the
Lordship of Jesus Christ. Friday morning they all brought something that
represented what they wanted to give to Jesus so they could follow Him more.
They each took a turn sharing what they brought and then laid it before a
cross. After us as staff came around them to pray for them. It was a very
powerful moment for the class.
Friday evening was our annual YWAM
banquet. Nate’s parents came to the banquet with us as well. It was very well attended.
We all had a great time.
On Saturday Nate’s parents took us
to the Tigers v. Twins game in Minneapolis. We sat in the second row in left
field. It was a great game. We were a bit on edge in the last inning but the
Tigers pulled through it and won! We had such a wonderful time.
We are excited for what this next
week in class will bring. Thank you for all the support and prayers you have
given us over these last few months. We appreciate it so very much!
