Groundbreaking News

     It's official!  We bought land in the village and are planning to move there, along with Nettie!  Last week we had a special "groundbreaking ceremony" with the team to celebrate and commit everything to the Lord.


     It was very cold, so our time there was pretty short!  We prayed together and sang a couple of songs.  Dave also read a letter than John Wicker sent to us with words of encouragement.  While we were there people from the community came to talk.  At one point when we were praying I looked over and saw Leif talking with a neighbor who came over out of curiosity.  It was a beautiful picture to hold onto as we entrust this move and this place to Him. 

     We were told that we needed to have the foundation poured by the end of October so that it's not too cold to harden properly.  Thankfully, it was poured this week!  We are excited to move forward and move through these open doors!
