Life since we came back from the states consisted of jumping right into a busy summer. Three weeks after we landed, we were blessed to accompany some of our youth group to a youth conference in York, England. A great time was had with the kids - couple of which ended up giving there lives to the Lord. The last day of this fun weekend happened to fall on our first anniversary, we were able to sneak off that morning and have breakfast at a small french cafe near York Minster. Traveling internationally with fourteen kids was a bit stressful but at the same time quite enjoyable. Hopefully next year we will be able to take a bit of a different wedding anniversary. Our day to day living is similar to anybody else's; we wake up, go to work, come home, then wake up and do it all over again. There are times when there's not much to report every month. Although all of us staff are pretty stoked because the move of the church offices is now officially finished! A reception area, and four offices are now occupying two of the three apartments upstairs above the church building. Perfect amount of space and rooms!
Portico is the same as always, in the next couple weeks there will be some "handy man" duties in the back of the shop, re-outfitting it to make things a bit more organized, like putting up shelves and putting in a new counter top, etc. Also, our dear friend Rachael who has been the assistant manager here, along with being a worship leader in our church is now being called back to the states to serve there. She leaves this week and will be surely missed. That being said, I will be taking on a small part of her job for the shop, not fully a "asst. manager" but helping out with stock and anything else that needs to be done.
One more exciting thing that will be happening is we'll be starting a community group in Carrick-on-Suir in late August. This is a great opportunity to bring fellowship and teaching to a town that has nothing like it. Carrick is a half hour outside of Waterford, a beautiful city that is very spiritually broken. Please pray for us in the endeavor I know we will need it.
We love you all and pray that God will continue to teach and bless you. Thank you so much for your continued prayer and support. It means so much to be supported by the body of Christ, its such a cool outworking of His church so please keep up the good work. Lots of Love.
Please pray..
- Strength and healing for Sebastian's wrists; not sure if it's carpal tunnel, arthritis or what but they seem to be getting worse the more he works with them..considering he's our only "handy man" maintenance guy, plus being a Muller, it's almost impossible for him to go on "hand rest"
- All construction will go quickly and smoothly
-The new community group in Carrick
- That we would continue to have the strength to seek Jesus in everything
- For more people to come to the Lord, as always.
