Booked! Better! Breaking!


Much has transpired recently but we've been too out of commission to write about it. Two weeks ago, through a number of generous support gifts, God provided just under half of our support needs for the summer so we booked the plane tickets. Soon thereafter Rachel and I came down with a debilitating stomach illness and only just have gotten back to normal eating. (thankfully Benaiah was spared this sickness) And now we're celebrating the resurrection of Jesus Christ by being with family and breaking from our normal routine.


Today we were hiking in the Wasatch national forest and ran into a rather interesting predicament - the bridge over the rushing creek was covered in 10 feet of snow. The peak of this pile was packed, icy, and only 12 inches wide! Carrying Benaiah on my back, I could tell we should not trifle with this the icy path. You can see the result below

One month until the semester ends. Two months until I leave for Israel, Two and a half until Rachel heads back to Michigan. Thank you for your continued prayers during this pressure filled time in our lives that God would sustain us through these years of study and direct us for the future.


Here are a few more pics from recent events:

My first wave pool, bring it on.

There's no place like...Omaha?

Rachel, Benaiah, and Becky just got back from a road trip to see cousin Jake and aunt Cheryl. They had lots of fun as you can probably tell. Meanwhile, back in the Norseland I was holding down the fort. I just about got all the snow melted before they returned.

Can I go Swimming, Mom?

Everyone enjoying the slides!

Even space cowboys need to hold mommy's hand still.
