1. Bobbie Jo continues to serve coffee and is constantly reminded that next year she needs to work with kids.
2. Derek continues to be the intern. He hasn't been preaching as much as he would like but has found other ways to get involved. He has really found a love for teaching the Adult Bible study that takes place on Sunday Mornings... here is what he has been working on, it is really cool!
3. Derek and Bobbie Jo would really like a dog! The past couple of weeks we have been entertained by our friend Greta. (We spoiled her rotten, took long walks, ate countless dog treats and scared away the crazy cat lady's cats!) Greta is Becky and Tyler's beautiful golden retriever! She is by far the best dog I have ever been around. (Sorry to Gus, Bonnie, Nellie,Ruby and Tobey) But this dog has won our hearts. On a side note, we really loved having Becky and Tyler here! Becky performed at the Fifth Ave. Theatre in Seattle for three weeks! They stayed with us for about a week and a half and it was a blast! The show was amazing as always and it was great to spend time with them. Our house didn't seem so empty and it was always fun to come home to a dog that wanted to play!
Becky's tour is done in August, check out http://tour.legallyblondethemusical.com/
It is one of the best musicals I have seen... but I may be a little biased!
4. Derek has kept in contact with a couple of teachers from Oak Grove and a couple weeks ago he did a Chapel for Oak Grove via YOUTUBE. Check it out if you are missing Derek, it is a great video. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=72Esiwy8P1A
5. I am working hard to find a job in Minneapolis! Let me know if you have any contacts or ideas!
6. We have a lot to look forward too... We are going to Vegas for my parents 25th Wedding Anniversary. We have visitors coming from all over... Korey B. will be here over Easter, Laura Morlock during the middle of Arpil, Rob Hansen at the end of April, Jackie in May, Krista Costin in June, Mom & Maggie at the end of June-July. To end the year, Craig, Jenifer and the kids will be here at the end of July! We are really looking forward to all of our upcoming visitors!
We hope things are going well back home. We wish we could be there to help. We are praying for you and hoping that the river does not exceed the dikes!
Have a great rest of your week.... we are thinking about you here and hoping things are great!
