update on our missions

Hello everyone, we have been gone a while into the wonderful world of college, but we are back now. Mandy and I were able to come alongside of the Acquire the Fire event here in Minneapolis, and we were busy to the max, but we were extreamely blessed to be able to do it. If anyone does not know what those events are, they can visit the website at www.acquirethefire.com . I was in charge of all the transportation for the entire event, which threw me into 14 to 15 hour days, but it was a blast. I got to hang out with some of todays largest main stream christian bands, and motivational speakers. Mandy was able to be in charge over a large group of junior and senior high school kids. We were blessed to see God fall on these kids, and many, many miracles were done. That stage of life is over now, and it is snow removal, and study time. We are studying the synoptic gospels, and spiritual warfare, and Mandy and I are really learning a lot. Our girls now have 2 other girls that are here, and they are both the same age. That are able to get together everyday and spend a couple hours playing. They are really building some healthy, good relationships. They are having lots of fun, and it will be hard for them to leave.
We are entering snow season, which I thought I understood, but this is like nothing that I have ever been involved in. We got about 3 inch's of rain first, and then about 8 inch's of snow on top of that. There is 12 inch's that should be here tonight, and this stuff is so heavy that my bobcat can not hardly move it. My boss has me driving a bobcat to move the stuff before and after school. We have gotten stuck in the picks, bobcat, and tractors. It is hillarius, and my boss is 100% norwegian and is always saying things like, "Ufda" and "dontcha know" which I spend more time laughing than working.
Mandy is heavily involved in training sessons for counseling, and spiritual freedom meetings. She is involved in meetings at night, and weekends, and then we are spending lots of time studying the Bible on our own, memorizing scriptures, and learning how this all goes together. We are blessed to have many, many very wise instructors, that are very wise and are, more than willing, to help us with our questions and growth.
Thank you for all the prayes that you have been sending our way, and we will be sending out a newsletter very soon giving everyone an update on what we are doing, and when. I would love to comment on that, but we are just currently waiting on approval for the missions agency that we have applied for. Once we have heard something we will let everyone know. Thank you and God bless you all.
