Big Week!

Well, last week a lot happened... here goes...



We went to the doctor for Jill's pregnancy check-up and got to hear our little baby's heartbeat! And no, we don't know the sex yet, even though my mom keeps calling it a boy. Hah, we'll see. It was so cool to hear the heartbeat! We are so excited--God is faithful. Well, Jill has been sick for about a week with who knows what--the nose and throat nastiness with a little bit of fever (and don't forget the morning sickness). Hopefully, she is almost through with that though. Thankfully, my mom came up to baby us for the weekend! Well, God has been really good to us...



God has provided our first monthly supporter! It is so awesome to see that God always provides for his people, and even when we are not expecting it. Here we are one month into training and a ways away from going overseas, and people are already giving... beyond their means, and of their own free will-- like the Macedonians in 2 Corinthians 8. Good stuff!



Here are some prayer points:



Pray that our baby keeps growing and staying healthy.

Pray that we can get Jill health insurance soon.

Pray that we let our light shine...so people will glorify the Father in heaven.





BJ and Jill
"...willing to go anywhere, at anytime, to do anything for Jesus."

Update...

So, we haven't updated our blog in forever. I guess you could say that we've been busy! A lot has happened since we bought our books! We just finished one group of classes. They were all really interesting. My favorite class was Bibliology. We talked about how the Bible is 100% inspired by God, written by His prophets to give us truth. Also, we talked about the Canon of the bible, which is what books are in the bible and why. All of the classes really get us digging into the word and seeing how consistent everything is! It really shows me that the Bible is so true and powerful...why is it so hard for some people to take?

Next subject! As most of you know (sorry Hailey)...I am 10 weeks pregnant! Morning sickness has not been the best. It's actually been pretty rough. I've sort of learned the routine now that helps a lot, but every few days, it won't matter what I do. But the good news, is I should only have a couple more weeks. I had my first doctors appointment and it was so sweet. BJ and I got to see the little sweet bundle of joy and its heartbeat! My next appointment is Sept. 29. I think we will get to hear the heartbeat. God is so good! This baby is a miracle!!

Last, we both got jobs! BJ is a driver's ed instructor! He will get his first class in October! He will be the most fun teacher! He takes his certification test tomorrow...be praying for him! Also, pray for me and my job! I've been babysitting 4 kids and it's been a little bit of a struggle! Enough said!

Please be praying for us for school, work, health, and building community! We love and miss everyone!
