OK - so Karisa and I talked last night for a while, and here is what we came up with. Let me know what you all think. Even though Saturday was brought up (mostly by me), it wouldn't be the best day for Karisa and if we did it Saturday (even though I KNOW I brought it up) I can't go because we have family coming in from out-of-town for a shin-dig for my grandpa's 80th birthday, which is on Saturday.

So, we're back to Sunday again if everyone feels like they're up for it. I don't know what we'll do, but Shell, it's OK if we crash your house for a couple of hours? Let me know what you all think, ladies.

Hope you're well!

Couple of matters for you to pray for. I love that this has largely turned into a prayer blog :)

1. A group of kids from CHS just left today for Swaziland, South Africa. I thought I'd ask you to pray...especially for this one girl. She's been very resistant to the power of the Holy Spirit in her life and has largely decided Christianity isn't for her. She's going on this trip to get her parents off her back and is scared to death that she'll be confronted with some God thing that she won't be able to deal with. I've been praying with her and talking to her for the past seven or so months and I'm ready for God to do something in her. I know it's all in His time, but if you would pray...that would be great. Her name is Carrie.

2. So, I think we're going to be youth pastors again. The church we've been going to, Church of the Apostles, is looking for a part time youth minister. We love the church, the bishop, his family, EVERYTHING about it and would be so grateful to be in service there. Please pray that God would continue to lead and that if this is His will, the financial end of things will work out.

So, Karisa's coming up in August...do we have a place we want to rendez-vous? I'd love to have you all come here, but that would be a long drive for Karisa. Any other thoughts?

SURPRISE!

so you know how you guys are like always giving me a hard time saying things like "Karisa, why did you move to Missouri?" or "we haven't seen you since graduation!"

Well, I will be in buffalo from August 12-19th. So any of you who will be available to meet up, I would love to see you. Let me know......miss you girls so much.

Prayer request for Adam Sullivan!!

hey girls. I just got a facebook message regarding Adam Sullivan. He was at home for the summer when he developed blood clots in his legs and was hospitalized at St. Vincents Hospital in Erie, PA.

He was going to have to have open heart surgery and was in intensive care as critical....well, after another doctor looked at his heart again he decided he didn't need to have surgery right now and was moved to a "Step Down Unit". he still need Oxygen to breathe but this morning he is answering Questions with sentences.

Surgery is still a possability. His breathing should improve over the next day or two.

If you would like to send cards the easiest place is home:

Adam Sullivan

Prayer Requests....

I have to leave in approximately 20 minutes and am not quite packet yet, but I wanted to do this really quick ask for your guys prayer....
1-Shelly, Joe, and their youth group are currently away on a missions trip and are returning to New York on Saturday
2-My youth group is doing a little mini local mercy missions trip from today until Saturday
3-My uncle is has to have one of his toes removed due to an infection that got into the bone (he has diabetes). His surgery is tomorrow, and I am asking prayer for that, but also that the infection did not spread any further because that might cause him to have some of his foot removed as well...

Off to finish packing...love you all!
