Thought I'd give you all just a quick update about how the last few months have been for us. Of corse we have done a lot of meeting up with friends and family since we got back from Idaho. We have enjoyed countless hours of catching up, sharing our ministry, and just chatting. But there have been a few other highlights too. Our sending church has been so supportive of us in this whole process. They have provided us with a number of opportunities to equip us as we head out to the field. One that we are particularly excited about is the Biblical counseling conference. It is taking place over three separate weekends this fall, and we have already learned so much about how to relate to others, ask good questions, and understand our own hearts. It is amazing how teaching that was designed to help with ministry seems to pierce our own hearts more than anything else! We also had the chance to go to Dallas for a few days this month. We went to visit a few fellow Moody grads who we had not seen in far too long. One of them, our dear friend Abby, has been battling hard against lukemia for over a year and a half now, but had her second clear PET scan while we were there! Praise God! On a side note, Alex's foot got brutally dominated by an army of fire ants. He is allergic to them so his poor foot swelled up like a microwaved marshmallow. The recovery required large quantities for Benadryl. But all's well that ends well, right? Overall, we decided that we would take Iowa over Texas any day of the year (except maybe in January), but it was great to see so many dear faces! Last but not least, you should see another letter in your mailbox from us in about a week, so keep an eye out.
