Hello all you amazing friends and family!
So, Josh and I were officially informed last week that we have been accepted as new staff at the YWAM Base in Colorado Springs! HOORAY!!! I love officialness! So in 4.5 months, we will be CO residents and starting our new staff training to prepare for the first Colorado SBS, starting January 2011!!!! Exciting!
So now that we have all sorts of officialness, we have started packing and started our hunt for a place to live! If any of you in the CO region hear of any good deals on housing, please send them our way!!!
In baby news, we have about 15-19 weeks left before we get to meet our cute Ezekiel! We are getting excited as we are preparing to become new parents! I know I promised to post pics, but I have yet to get them onto the computer yet! I will be doing this soon so do not despair!
As we prepare for these upcoming transitions, we are still enjoying our everyday YWAM life here in MT! SBS just started their final quarter! Josh is preparing to teach Zephaniah followed by Haggai and Malachi, in the next couple f weeks! He continues to enjoy life as a teacher and is doing an amazing job at it, if I may say so myself!!!
As for me, the theatre is about to open the last show that I will be a part of! Next weekend we will be presenting “A Bible Tableau” which is a compilation of short pieces focused on different books of the Bible as well as Christian living! It should be oodles of fun! I am also praying about handing off my duties as campus librarian as life has been getting increasingly more uncomfortable as I grow bigger!
Prayer Requests:
Please be praying for our cute Baby boy that he continues to stay healthy and happy in utero and that he would continue to be so after he is out of utero!
Please pray for my pregnancy that it would continue to go smoothly! I have also not been sleeping well as I am very uncomfortable in my rib and back region! So I would love prayers for healing for these areas as well as the ability to sleep again!!! Please also be praying for a replacement librarian if God leads me to pass the baton!
Please pray for our transition to CO! We need a nice and affordable place to live as well as more finances to move all of our stuff down there! We also still need to raise an extra $600/month support to be able to be on staff in the Springs!
We will be mailing out newsletters telling more about our upcoming adventures as well as to raise funds! If you are not on our mailing list and would like to be, please shoot me an email (emmysmoo @ yahoo. com) and I will be sure to mail you one!
As always we are VERY thankful for your prayers and support!!! You are seriously one of the major reasons that we can continue to do the things that God is calling us to!!!
Emily, Josh and Zeke in Utero
Hi there, I’m glad that things are progressing well on all fronts. Sorry that you are not sleeping well. That can make life challenging day to day.
How cool that you guys will be living here soon. I’m praying for your sleep, move, pregnancy and support to all come through well.
Hi to Zeke and Josh! Talk to you later. Diane
