We need prayer right now.  For the last 16 hours Kirstie has been having 1-1.5 min contractions every 2-4 min.  We were at the hospital from 11pm-3am last night.  They observed Kirstie durring that time, and she did not dilate past 1 cm, so they sent her home.

It has been a sleepless night, and a very painful day for Kirstie.  We visited “OBGYN West” (Kirstie’s Clinic) and got a “you poor thing” and thats about it.  It is frusterating for me to see my wife so much in pain, and not be able to do anything to help her.

Please pray that her body will prepare for the baby, or pull back from the contractions.  Also, pray for me as I need grace and strength to help Kirstie through this somehow.

Yay Mike and Lindy! Our friend’s, roomates, and Isabela’s Godparents were married at a beautiful wedding. Photos will be comming soon!

I woke up this morning with a persistent thought in my head… I need to update the site!

Things have been a bit crazy, finishing moving in, and getting started with PT (Pratical Training)  We knew coming into school that I would have to work 20 hours a week, but we were surprised to find out that Kirstie is also going to have to work 10 hours a week.  Aparently this is a new requirement for Mom’s on campus, as we do not recall any other Mom’s of years past being held to this standard.

Kirstie and I are both working in the school kitchen.   The kitchen has the most available hours and flexibility of all of the practical training options.  This will enable us to work opposite shifts so that one of us will always be available for Isabela.

That is what has been keeping us busy.  We are finally settled in, and would love to hear from our friends!  Please contact us and let us know how you are doing!  We would also love to invite you to our apartment to share the happenings of our ministry, and our training.  We hope to hear from you soon.

Thanks for your support and prayers!

So we moved into School yesterday!  We got a lot organized, but left some for me to do so I have some thing to do during the week! My Mom and Sister were also out here this week visiting us and looking for houses!  My parents have pretty much narrowed  it down to the top three house that they  like.  Now we just need to pray the their house sells!

Thank you for all of the pray support that everyone is giving to us during this time of transition! Every prayer Helps!

We have not written too much lately, because most of our days have consisted of packing/sorting boxes, and getting ready for baby… Kirstie’s dad was here this last week with some job interviews. Ted was hired by the Minneapolis school district in February, but was not placed into a school. We just heard last night that Ted has been hired at Roosevelt High, which was what Ted was hoping for! Not to mention that their mascot is the “Teddies”

We spent Wednesday house hunting with dad… We found some great houses, that would be great for their family.

Now they need to pass the scroutinous eye of Kirstie’s mom Sue… Sue and Catrina (Kirstie’s sister) will be out here this next week. We are extremely excited to see them! (We have not seen them since November)

Thursday is our official move in date back to Bethany, and Monday I start classes. So much has happened in our time off, and it has gone so fast! We thank God for the blessing he has shown to us, and our family during this transition time!
