Moving Forward!!

Well, things are moving forward quickly.  I enjoyed a month off between calls which I loved.  Paul is ending his third full week of regular classes.  Sophia is recovering from being sick with an ear and yeast infection.  I finally had to take her to the doctor.  Glad she was able to get on some medicine and she's so much better.  Sophia goes to daycare 4 days a week and of course loves playing with the kids.  She has met some nice kids and loves hanging out with her pal Brigham.  The sad part is that there has been some kind of illness going around campus so the kids haven't gotten to play together much.  Trying to get everyone healthy. 

I'm in my second week of my new call at Faith Lutheran in Cuba City, WI.  It's about a 30 minute drive from Dubuque, but its a nice drive.  The people are great and my first Sunday went really well.  When I was at Zion, I was in the midst of Hawkeye fans and now I'm in the midst of Packer fans.  Guess I can't win picking calls.  I'm not a Hawkeye fan and I'm not a Packer fan either.

My new call is part time so I work Sundays, Tuesdays, and Wednesdays which is nice.  Confirmation is Sundays after worship so I don't have late Wednesdays nights.  YEAH!!!  On Mondays and Thursdays I work at Wartburg Seminary as the assistant for the Center for Youth Minitries.  I love it because I work 10 hours a week and I can set my own schedule.  I also love it because my supervisor is a dear friend and former Youth Pastor of mine Nate Frambach.  Its great to be working together with him again.

We are staying busy.  My grandparents have gotten quite sick over the last 2 months so I went home a couple of weeks ago to see them and we are going home next week again.  My sister in law, Kelley, had a baby girl, Lyza Noelle, at the end of August so Sophia has another cousin to play with.

We've been through a lot this summer and one transition after another, but we are so thankful and blessed to be at Wartburg Seminary and in our new calls.  We couldn't have done this without prayers and support from our family and friends.  We miss our friends at Zion and Waterloo, but we've been able to get back a time or two and people have come to Dubuque to see our new house.

We thank you for reading our blog and for your phone calls, e-mails, and friendship.  Stay in touch!
