Congratulations!

We are FINALLY allowed to share that we are going to be an uncle and aunt! Matt's brother and sister-in-law are expecting a baby (though we're arguing over the sex) sometime in April! We could not be more excited! We love you, Casey and Laura!

Stacey's sister starts her final year of college today, and Matt's mom is having surgery on her hand...all a reminder that life continues at home while we are here. It is devestating to us to miss all of this, but we are so thankful for email, some phone, and most of all the assurance that we are all where He has placed us...and all in His hand.

Today is our last day of Seminary Retreat, and tomorrow morning classes start. Matt and I will both be teaching at 8 am, with about 10-20 students in each of our classes.

Please be praying for the students as they are trying to gather up enough money to attend, and for all of the families in Haiti who are especially struggling this time of year. September offers a difficult choice: food or tuition? books or clothes? Being able to pay for tuition AND for daily living expenses is rare, and there are a lot of people trying to provide for their families andprovide their children with an education. Pray for wisdom for us as we try to help wherever we can.
