Update

Sorry for the delay in posting, but it has been a CRAZY 2 weeks!

As promised, here are pictures of Shaun's event for the youth. We held the event 2 Sundays ago and 70 youth came! Because of the event, this Sunday we had 45 teens at Cross Culture. Good stuff! A little background for the pictures.... Shaun's mom mailed us this costume: thank you!!! Shaun and I were supposed to go downtown for Halloween as Dorothy and the Lion, complete with Sebastian in a basket. Well, no one else in our group wanted to dress up, so we didn't get to dress up on Halloween, but the event at Cross Culture was costumes optional. Shaun pretended to be "too cool" for a costume during the event. When all the kids had gathered together for skate races and for all the birthdays, Shaun came out in the costume. The Teens died laughing! So, here are the pictures of the skate party.

We have had a crazy week. Monday our microwave caught on fire, yes caught on fire! Thursday our washing machine went out and we had to register my car yesterday to Mississippi. Talk about money flying out the window! Good news is that we now have a really nice washer and dryer. But, it is a sad day in mudville people, the honda now sports a Mississippi license plate. A moment of silence please for this and the fact that a tag cost $450 for one year here in Mississippi!!! Yes, my Texas friends, that's right: for 1 year!!! Needless to say, we are holding out on Shaun's car as long as possible, so his still sports the Texas tag.

Our friend from the Met came down this past weekend and he lead worship for the main service. It was soo good to see him and meet his girlfriend Jade. Eric did a fantastic job and it made me realize just how blessed the Met is and how blessed we were to get to be a part of it and serve alongside Eric and Dustin. The church is maintaining the 400 number each week. The kids area usually floats around 100. Sometimes, a little more, it just depends. With those numbers, we are pretty much at capacity as far as having one service. And as far as me trying to balance all of this! Good news is that we are continuing to see new people each week and each week people are accepting Jesus.

We start a new series this week in Mo Kids. It is called Attitude of Gratitude: Rewind and Remind. The theme is time machine, so each week I play the part of a scientist who invented the machine and I go back to a different era: the 50's, 60's, 70's, 80's, etc. I am attaching the logo that my fabulous friend and side kick did for it. This series will get us through the month of November and then it is onto Christmas!!!

Please continue to pray for Mosaic and for the Staff. We have all been facing challenges and continue to try to balance everything. Also, please pray for our sending church, the Met, because of their faith, we are able to exist and serve here on the Coast.

We love you guys and can't wait to come home in 3 weeks to visit!

Love,

Jessica and Shaun
