Big Helpers





Being the 4th child has it's advantages



like being read to,











Being pushed,








And getting help with keeping that pacifier in.




But sometimes the help gets tired of the noise.

Graduation


We're Done




In 2002 we began an adventure. With our first new little baby boy we packed up a u-haul, left Kansas City and headed to Los Angeles so Alex could attend the Master's Seminary. Little did we know that 7 years later with three additional kids we would finally be done. When we first came to California we stayed with some relatives while we looked for a place to live and a refridgerator (CA apartments do not come with refridgerators). We found someone who was giving away a refridgerator because they were leaving the states. Not only did we receive thier refridgerator but we moved into thier apartment the same day they moved out. And the storage unit we had our things in turned out to be just around the corner. Only a sovereign God could have times all these details. And we have 7 years worth of similiar stories we could share of God's amazing goodness and faithfullness. We praise him for bringing us through this adventure and look forward to what lies ahead. So what lies ahead? We don't know. Alex would like to serve as an associate pastor and so we are waiting to see what God has planned

We are very thankful not only for the training that Alex received during seminary but also for the faithful men who were apart of that training. "The things which you have heard from me in the presence of many witnesses, entrust these to faithful men who will be able to teach others also." 2 Timothy 2:2. These men have been faithfull examples of integrity to God's word.
