We have some great praises to share with you! Michael has finished school and pass his exam! He is now a license Aircraft mechanic! Katy has been working hard at World Relief; starting in October she will be doing more artwork, which we hope to sell and start paying off our school debt. Michael has been enjoying working at Atlantic Aero and has been getting some really valuable experience on Reciprocating aircraft and Turbo-props.
There is a lot going on this month and we would appreciate your prayers. This week we will be starting to pack up to move into a new apartment(at the end of the month). We signed a lease on a nice two bedroom apartment a few miles down the road from where we are now. Yay! We are excited to be moving into a larger space. On the 11th we will be traveling to Phoenix for two weeks for the training that Michael won through the scholarship program. We will be there through the 22nd. Please pray for our travel.
We have had great opportunities here in Greensboro and are ready to start serving together in different ministries. Katy has been working with the high school group at Westover Church (the church that we attend) for about 3 months now and Michael will soon have the same opportunity to serve with the high school ministry. The weekend after we return we will be going to The Cove in Asheville for our high school group's fall retreat. We are excited to connect with more students and build strong relationships with them. Please keep this retreat with the students in your prayers.
We are both attending a class called Marriage Foundations at Westover. It has been fun getting to know couples and build relationships in the class. We have also grow closer together and learned more about how marriage works and how we work together to encourage each other. We “graduate” from this class in November and move on to a new marriage class. The Lord has blessed us with great friendships that will last a lifetime and we are excited to see what other ministries and opportunities God has planned for us.
After all this traveling we will be moving into our new home on the 26th. We have to be out of our current apartment by the first of October. Please pray for a smooth moving transition. It will be a bit crazy this month, but we are excited about it all. Now that Michael is finished with class and has his license, the last thing that is left is our school debt. We know that the Lord has the money, and this isn't what is keeping us from our goal. It is the Lord that has bigger and better plans to keep us here a little longer. The Lord has already taken care of the debt.
We are still focused and ready to do the ministry. We are excited to see what He is going to do with us in Greensboro and how He is going to use us! We will try to keep you better updated on how we are doing and what the Lord is teaching us. Thank you for all of your prayers and support.
We apologize for how late this update is. Our computer has been going through a mess of problems that has made it very difficult to send updates. Hopefully the problems are fixed now! :)
