And it begins....

So we are now residing in our new humble abode, and we are loving the new place. We moved in July 1 and that was quite an adventure, and we started up the next day with Apartment Life. We threw a poolside barbecue, and we had a great turn out. I don't have the specific number of attendance but I believe it was above 100. We are thankful for the Campus Crusade summer project college students for coming out and helping us serve. They brought a snow cone machine which was a big hit. The next event was actually last night and that was a Game night we entitled Battle of the Sexes. We didn't have the turnout we had for the pool party but we had a great time with three of our residents. It was just a good time to hang.
We are still in the process of moving but we are hoping that by the end of the month we will be completely in. Thank you Lord.
We ask that all of you continue to pray for us as we are trying to figure out our schedules. We want to make sure that as we do this ministry we also make time for us and our marriage, because we know that we won't be nearly as effective if 1) our personal relationship with the Lord isn't where it needs to be and 2) that our relationship with each other isn't where it should be. We ask for continual prayer for the management team of the Apartment complex and for the residents, that God's love will be seen through us and that opportunities will arise where we will be able to share the gospel and the free gift that God has to offer them. We thank you guys for your support and your prayers. We love you all.
