Updates!!

Ok so I have been so BAD at updating this. I am really HOPING and PRAYING that i can get back on track!

So much has happened since I last wrote on here. I don't even know where to begin!!!

We went to AZ for a pastor and leaders conference and it was so awesome. We took 4 others with us and it was such a blessing. The last morning of the conference we got a phone call that our brother-n-law Brad was tragically killed in a hunting accident. This left us totally stunned and asking the age old question WHY??? Brad left behind a wife and two boys. We do not understand God's timing and or God's ways but we do know that He has a plan. Our hope is in God and God alone. He has carried us through this numbing past week and our prayer and hope is that in and through this tragedy that God's kingdom will be furthered and that lives will turn back to God! PLEASE continue to pray for Jill and the boys!

We want to thank each and everyone of you for your kind words and many prayers at this very hard time. Words can not express our thanks!

We have now returned home and are beginning to try and get back into the routine here. We missed each and everyone of you and look forward to seeing everyone again.

Matt's sister Hope and her soon to be husband Johnathan are moving to NE. Johnathan came out with us and Hope and the kids will come just as soon as school gets out. Thanks to all who helped find Johnathan a job! We appreciate all of the suggestions and he does start work on Monday. We are still looking for a house to rent for them. They are looking at one just down the road from us but it is very small and they do have 3 kids so if anyone knows of a 3-4 bedroom that is for rent in the Imperial and or Champion area we would appreciate any suggestions!

Please pray for us too as far as our trucking business. Matt's truck blew an engine on Monday and we are looking to our Jehovah-jireh the Lord who will provide! Our faith and trust is in Him alone.

The boys anxiously are looking forward to Monday as Soccer starts. Austyn will play on two teams this year and he is so excited about that. Matt will coach the team that both boys are on and will assistant coach the other team that Austyn is on. Soccer will be our life this next month and a half.

We love you guys and thank you all for your prayers for our family! God Bless you all!!!
