blessed to be trained

We are getting settled into our new temporary home at OMS World Headquarters in Greenwood, Indiana. We are in training with 7 other couples and one gentleman from South Africa: 4 from England, 1 other from Asbury, and 2 from Texas. As was true of our last training here, we are blown away and blessed by these people. The stories and callings and ministries of the just these other families around us are so beautiful! We are feeling your prayers as He continues to use this as an opportunity to stretch us, grow us, and excite us!
Also, we also had a lovely anniversary! OMS somehow got a mixed message that it was actually Matt's Birthday, not our anniversary, so to celebrate we had a cake and balloons and the whole party! It was quite a funny incident for our first day, and strangers keep coming up and wishing him a Happy 2 Year Birthday Anniversary :) It is a joy to be among a great cloud of witnesses such as this: everyday people just like us who have lived lives of service all over the world!
