August already?!?!

Hello there Family and Friends.

I know that it has been quite a while since I have posted anything. I am sorry!! It has been a great and busy month. Shaun's Mission trip was a huge success. The Youth had a great time serving and I think that some of our kids even found their calling while there. We have a great video that I will be posting soon. The kids at the Boys and Girls Club of Fort Worth even wrote over 300 thank yous to our kids for coming. How awesome is that!?!?!

Mo Kids Extreme Week was a great success too! Our biggest night had 118 kids! And we had over 130 volunteers serving... that is unheard of in the volunteer world! My friend Steph came down from the Met and she truly was such a great help, not to mention that she rocked our faces off with her mad electric guitar skills! She was even kind enough to make a video for me as a surprise at the end of the week. The Sunday during Extreme Week we had a family style service where the kids worshipped with their parents. After the service, we were able to feed all the Extreme Team barbecue from the Shed as way to say thank you. It truly was an amazing week. The most exciting part of the week is that we had 35 kids put their faith in Christ!!!!!!!!

Thank you for your prayers and encouragement.

I am now able to sleep again at night..:-)

Shaun was on the mound last Sunday in the service and I think that he did a fabulous job. He seems to be getting better and better! You can listen to it on our church website: http://www.mosaicgc.com/. Click on the listen button on the ipod in the lower left hand corner.

Shaun and I have been very busy these past two weeks. Our neighbors from Texas, Maddie and Alec have been with us. We did manage to take them to the beach over in Gulfshores one day, that was awesome. Maddie is about to be 12 and Alec is 13. I had forgotten how much teenagers eat, sleep, and dirty up the house. Thank you Mom and Dad for loving us through our teenage years! The kids leave next week. Their dad, Pete will be here this Sunday and we can't wait to see him. His kids were the fist kids that Shaun and I got to baptize.

This Sunday is the anniversary of our 1 year grand opening at Mosaic! Time flys! This time last year we went from 130 people and 25 kids to 350 people and 75 kids! Now we have over 500 people each weekend and 150 kids.

News on the home front... Shaun and I start school next week. I start my counseling internship at a mental health hospital and will be working there 25 hours a week. Shaun is taking 2 classes. I can't wait to be out of school!

We are still looking for the right house to purchase. We enjoy living here and can't wait to have our own house to make it feel more like home. That and the electric bill here is over $300 each month! Keep us in your prayers.

We hope to take some time off soon so that we can get in a quick 3 days to rest. My vote is on a beach somewhere, still trying to talk Shaun into that one.

Please call us or email us.. we miss our Peeps!

Love ya'll!
