"And we know that God causes all things to work together for good to those that love God, to those that are called according to His purpose." Romans 8:28

God has once again proven Himself to be faithful to work things together for His purpose! It is hard to believe how easy this transition to Rogersville has been!

Here's a brief rundown of the past two weeks:
**Moving Day**
-14 people from Persia Baptist Church showed up to move us
-All of our items were packed on the trailer in 50 minutes
-As we pulled in to Rogersville, Steph and I stopped at Wal-Mart for no more than 10 minutes. Before we got back to the car, Justin called to say that our boxes were unpacked and our beds were put together!
-Several ladies from the church had prepared food (and *delicious* desserts) for all of us, and we had a great time of fellowship!
-Steph helped me get the kitchen set up in record time!

-Since moving day, we have had so much help from church members in completing tedious things like getting the cable/Internet/phone set up, getting insurance, getting a new license plate/registering my car, finding a groomer for Macie, and finding great places to eat!

I still can't believe how easy everything has been! This has been a great reminder that God wants us here!


Despite all of this, we are missing our friends and family. We're not really homesick (we've been back a couple times already for Steph's Senior Awards Day---3 scholarships!--- and to clean the apartment), and we definitely haven't been lonely, but we still miss everyone... not in a sad way, though. We just want all of you here with us! If you can't be here with us, keep in touch with emails, phone calls, texts, etc. We would love to hear from you!

Finally, thank you to all of you for your love, support, encouragement, and prayers. You may never know how much it means to us. We love you!
