Ski Retreat & Birthday Bowl!

This weekend, John had the opportunity to be the speaker for the WGM/ Asbury Ski Retreat at Perfect North in Indiana. He was able to share with over 100 college students from Asbury & Indiana Wesleyan University about where God may be leading them in their lives & where God is calling them after college. John has always had a heart for college age ministry, so this was a sweet time for him and hopefully a challenging and insightful time for the students as well!

And yesterday we finally got to celebrate John's 30th Birthday with a real Superbowl/ Birthday Party! A bunch of our friends came to our house from Lexington (5 of whom had come on a trip to Uganda together while we were there!) and of course our friends & family from here were there too! It was such a blessing to have electricity for the party... since we woke up yesterday and ONCE AGAIN DID NOT HAVE ELECTRICITY!!! It was only out for a few hours this time though, thank God! I was so thankful that the power came back on!

Happy Birthday, John!!! I am so sorry that we weren't able to come out and help celebrate. It looks like you had a wonderful time! We are SO glad you were born. And Bryce and I love being 30+ How wonderful about you speaking at WGM ski retreat. We know you were SUCH a blessing to those college kids. Erica, you're too cute with your little belly. We love you. We're so encouraged at the way you are trusting Jesus. We are praying for His best and the strength for you to trust Him. We love you!
