I Have a Sad Feeling in my Stomach

Kelly & Brian are getting all set to move on Tuesday. Every time I think of it, I get a icky feeling in my stomach. I am excited for them to be following God's leading to Mankato - I just hate to see them leave. They have been such a blessing to us - babysitting, having us over for meals, and just stopping by for a quick hello. I will miss not having them only a mile away. A four hour drive seems like an airplane ride away compared to what I've been used to over the past year. I guess I am trying to look forward to good long weekends spent with them. That is the only thing that makes me happy to think of them leaving. We had a going away party for them on Friday - here are some pictures of our time with them!







Things with the UMD Navigators continue to go really well. We are seeing God answer prayer - and it is so exciting! The only problem is - we have been so busy with Nav stuff and other commitments with church and friends - that we haven't had enough family time! We certainly are seeing the importance of that time and the need to find a balance. So that is what I have been praying about lots lately - that Brandon and I would know what things we should say yes to and when we need to say no.

Tonight, many new freshmen joined us for a bonfire on Wisconsin Point. It was a blessing to see them there! Bible studies are going great - the freshmen study I have been leading has had between 8-10 women each week. What an answer to prayer! Below are some photos from the bonfire tonight. It was a great night for a fire - even though it was a bit windy.
