Happy 4th!

Hello from Jellyville!
Things are slowing down a little for the next few weeks. We have something every weekend but other than that, things are quieter. So here is a quick fix as to what is going on with us:


1. I guess I forgot to tell everyone that we are getting the church parsonage. We are just waiting for Pastor John and Beth to get everything out so we can clean it and have it painted. We are excited to be moving and not be living in this apartment because...

2. There was a fire in our apartment complex a few weeks ago. We found out about it through a vauge letter that everyone got in our complex. What makes us so mad is that it was right next door to us! The people left their grill (full with hot coals) on their deck (which is against Indiana State Law) and it caught the wall that we share on the outside of our deck on fire. We come to find out that the Fire Dept. had to go through our apartment with hoses and such and NO ONE TOLD US!!!!!! So needless to say, we are ready to get out of here.

3. Sr. High Camp was great. I had a great group to help me ( Ben, Amanda, Bryan, Terry and Matt). I also had the privilege of speaking on Thursday morning in the rally. God really changed some hearts that week and I got to be a small part of that.

4. We have two fundraisers between now and family camp. We are doing a bar-b-que chicken sale this saturday. We are kind of going out on the ledge because our kids really havent pre-sold like we would have liked. So pray that the sale goes well on Saturday. Then, on the 21st we are having a car wash. All the money goes to sending the students to Orlando for the youth conference in December.

5. We (Sarah might be going, she got put on-call today) are going tubing with Jeff and Gwen and their family. Then we are going to watch fireworks tonight so it should be a fun day.

6. Family camp is coming...July 22-29. This year I am in charge of all the activities (afternoon and afterglows) that the teens will do at family camp. I really enjoy doing these kinds of things. Matt and Terry will join me again and it will be a great time.


I think that is it...hope this finds you well.
