Well many of you have been asking what I'm doing right now. So I thought it would be a good time to give you an update. Well I'm still currently working for Red Rock Landscape mainly mowing lawns (boy do we need rain!). On days I'm not mowing I help out on projects like this!

So it's nice to break up the week ocassionaly with something different then mowing. Last week youth group at church (Thrive) started back into the swing of things on Wednesday nights and I help to lead the middle school group. This month I will be in charge of leading the lessons before taking a break to go to Guatemala to get married ( I think that's a pretty good excuse). I'm leading some lessons based off of I Am Second videos which are pretty cool videos based on real people's stories of how God worked in their lives. I also have been helping out a good bit with leading worship on Sunday mornings at church. Another thing I have been working on has been Spanish. I'm on a 21 day streak of at least 15 minutes a day! I only have 8 more little circle levels to unlock if you know anything about duolingo.com. Its been a little weird not going back to Messiah when a lot of my friends went back last week, but that time in life came and went and I'm ready to move on and I don't really miss the work that's for sure :) I had to go back yesterday to see some people and to catch a little bit of some sporting events though :P. I have also been working on odd and ends regarding wedding planning and looking into what we will need when we live here after we are married. As far as ministry aspects go we will be spending a good bit of time in November and December preparing to speak at churches and getting handouts and letters ready to go so that we can start raising support as soon as possible.
Side note if you would like to have us to your church or just meet with us in person to hear Shauna and my goals and vision for ministry in Guatemala let me know!
The Phillies season has been gettting extremely long which means I'm pretty excited for Thursday night at 8:30! If you have no idea what that time means then you are not a true fan. The Steelers kickoff the NFL regular season! So excited for football to be back!
So there's a little update into my life right now!
As I read in my devotions the other day I want to have fearless confidence like the disciples had in this passage from Acts 4:31. While they were praying, the place where they were meeting trembled and shook. They were all filled with the Holy Spirit and continued to speak God's Word with fearless confidence.
And to close this post with a quote from Doug Miller (radio voice for Messiah women's soccer), "Be blessed but more importantly be a blessing."
