So, I had planned to do this update a long time ago but somehow just didn't get around to it. Well, we are living in Altona and you might be wondering how that happened. Kellin was laid off in Jan. and we both felt he should go back to school full time. Although I was only working part time and we just built a new house, that is exactly where we felt God calling us and we both had complete peace about it. We sold our house which was a huge blessing and moved in with my parents (another huge blessing)
With Kellin being only one course left to graduate plus his practicum, we felt that it was time for him to start applying for ministry positions. So for about 5 months he applied for at different churches and organizations and in the end it was between to Youth Pastor positions. It was very hard for us to know which is the one God was calling us to because both were really good. One of the determining factors was really our adoption and how the community would be able to accept these children of a different race.
In the end we chose Altona EMMC. We made our decision at the beginning of August and Kellin started Sept. 1. We had one month to find housing. Since we had already accepted a puppy and with working with youth, we wanted a three bedroom house and that is what we started praying for. The day after the church voted us in, we had a call from one of the members that he had a house with 3 bedrooms. Wow God is amazing.
So now we have been here for about a month and a half and we have met some great people. Still a lot of adjustments and we are really missing our family, friends and youth from back home. But God is taking care of us and he has been so good. Thankfully, we are only and hour and 10 minutes away from Steinbach and hour and a half away from Winnipeg so it isn't too far to see them often.
I am excited about what God is going to do in us and through us to have brought us to this new place.
