April 4th Update

Just over halfway through the pregnancy!

Easter egg fun at Grammie's house

Norah thought that the egg dye tablets were candy, and she was too quick for us. Good thing they're non-toxic!

Dyeing eggs with aunties and uncles!

The joy of finding an egg during the egg hunt!

One of Evie's favorite things about visiting Grammie  & Papa is that her aunts doll her up. She loves it!

 We just returned from an 8-day trip to Kenai for Easter, and to North Star Bible Camp in Willow for a CCCA conference. We're glad to be home for a couple of days before hitting the road again, this time to Glennallen so Justin can present at Glennallen Community Chapel and Alaska Bible College on behalf of Victory.
We had a fun time in Kenai with family. The trip turned a little bit frightening when we experienced a health scare with my dad, but God is good and He did an amazing work, and I'm thankful to say my dad's doing much better now. We headed up to Willow very early Monday morning for a conference held with several other camps from around the state.
I hesitate to say it,  but breakup could actually be on the way for our part of Alaska! It has already begun in other areas and the patches of snowless ground outside are slowly growing bigger and bigger! I even saw several trees sprouting fuzzy buds as we drove around the state last week.
Camp has had a few issues lately with injured staff and damage to guest housing. We could use prayer as we are also shorthanded since a couple of the staff families are traveling to raise support this month. It's wonderful to see everyone step up and fill in where needed, but it definitely puts stress on staff and, in turn, staff families.

Some ways you can pray for us right now:
-That maintenance issues would be solved with some of the camp housing that was severely damaged due to water
-That Abigail, a member of the program team, would have quick healing after injuries from a snowmachining accident, and that a staff wife would have healing after being injured in a car accident
-For our family, that the issues with our housing would be resolved. Our pipes froze yet again while we were gone last week
-For a reminder during busy/stressful times that we are here working for the Lord and not for ourselves
