Getting acquainted

Hello! I hope everyone is doing well! Nick and I have been keeping busy and doing well! This past Tuesday I started my new job! I am working at a christian preschool that is about 40 minutes away. I am working as a substitute for the summer, which is perfect because we have a jammed packed summer full of camps and weddings! I am hoping that in the fall I will get hired on full time! This job opportunity came at the most perfect time as I was having experiencing a bit of home sickness and just missing everyone back home. This mostly came with me not having much to do while Nick was away at work. But the Lord knew just what I needed and what was on my heart with giving me this job! I am so grateful for that! So other than starting a new job, we have been painting our apartment and making it into our home. Nick is playing on 2 softball teams so we have been especially busy with that!

Wednesday was the last day of school for our students here and they are all super excited to be on summer break! We are thoroughly enjoying getting to know each of them and their many entertaining qualities! Next week our church is hosting a week long event called "Mission Siloam" where we will take part in many activities to give back and show the love of Christ to our community. Some of the week long events include a free clothing give away and back yard Bible clubs. Nick and I are hosting a back yard Bible club at our house! This will take place Monday through Friday evenings and will have a vacation Bible school kind of feel, with games, crafts, snacks and a Bible story! Children from the surrounding neighborhoods will be invited to attend! There are several host homes that are located around town! Please pray that things will go well with that as there are many hearts that need reaching!!

I hope you have a wonderful week! Until next time :) Good bye!
