Tough stuff

Hello All,


The last few weeks have been very tough. We have had four different families lose love ones and this week was the 1 year anniversary for another family who lost their only son. So, we have been grieving with our Mo Family as they grieve.

These weeks are tough emotionally but also tough physically. We still have other work things that we must do, we still have weekend services to handle and we still have to manage our families. I am grateful that I work with such a good team.

The weather is beautiful here, so we have been trying to enjoy it when we can. It is also very refreshing to be out in it.

Party planning has begun for Elliott's birthday. We are hosting an Elliott and Elmo party. I have decided to make most of her party crafts, so the fun has begun! Who knew crafting could be so fun?!? Pictures to come soon!

Elliott is just growing and learning everyday. She is close to walking but not quite there. She will take a step, but that is it. She knows the word oops now too. She dropped her toy in the bathtub the other night and said "oop". Soo cute!!

I'll post videos and pictures soon.

We are ok!

Texas Peeps,


I know the national news is making it sound like we are in horrible weather, but we are not! It is just a lot of rain and some wind. So, no worries!

Shaun and I have been super busy as we just finished hosting a marriage conference at the church as well as preparing for the launch of the City, weekend services, and several funerals, births, and weddings.

We are rejoicing with our Pastor Dustin and his wife as they recently adopted a newborn baby boy, Rhett. A journey that began 15 years ago for them. He is perfect and healthy and was born in Texas, so he is one of us! ;-)

Elliott is great. More interested in Rhett's puppy Zoey than in Rhett, she just a bundle of energy. She has several words that she can say, daddy, mama, tree, and dog. Although, dog is her favorite.

I will update more when thinks slow down. But, check out this video of some of my kiddos sharing their faith story. This is why we do what we do and why we are so blessed to be used by Him!

Love,
Jessica
