Catching Up

It is hard to believe that just about a month has passed since we last posted a comment. This will be a quick update to let you all know what has transpired over the last several weeks.

Michael participated in the Bob Jones University commencement on May 9, where he had a Ph.D. in Theology conferred. Both our sets of parents joined us for the ceremony, and then we had the opportunity that afternoon to spend time with many of our friends at a drop in reception. The Lord gave us an exciting and enjoyable day. We are so grateful for his kindness to us throughout the process.

We left two days later for a family vacation--our first true family vacation since we've been married. The Lord provided this vacation free of charge to us and we are so grateful for the generosity of our family members. We had a great time together and were able to catch up on some sleep after two very hectic weeks.

We were at home for a week before we left for Tennessee to present our mission to Life Gate Baptist Church in Hixson. Pastor Dunn and the people there were very kind to us and we enjoyed making some new friendships with brothers and sisters.

Presently, we are working on projects at home, contacting pastors, getting ready for a short trip to PA to help 2 churches with VBS, and preparing for our long deputation trip this Fall.

Finally, but definitely not lest, Liz and I are anticipating the birth of our second child this coming December! (Viviane would also be excited, but she doesn't understand yet.)

As you can see, we have had quite a bit going on. Thank the Lord for his goodness.
