January Overview

So there has been tons of stuff going on here in the last month. There are not very many jobs available here so that makes it tough to get one. I was able to get a lifeguarding/ swim instructor job at the downtown YMCA. It is only about 8 min. from our house. Aaron has joined the National Guard reserve. He will probably be leaving for basic training in the middle of February. He will then be gone for 3 1/2 months. We will not be able to talk on the phone except maybe once every 2 weeks or when his drill sergent thinks it is necessary. I am not really looking forward to that but we are allowed to write to each other everyday.
We are still looking for a car. Our friends are letting us borrow their van right now which is a huge blessing. Along with looking for a car we are also looking for a house because we found out that we have to be out of our apartment by May 1. If you could all be praying about this that would be great. The mortgage company is saying that they may not give us a mortgage because they do not count Aaron's work history in Canada. I know that God is bigger than all of this and He has a plan for us.
Our team has a ministry this weekend all of the guys are going to the juvinile detention center to spend some time with the guys there and also watch the Superbowl with them. The ladies are going to make snacks and goodies for them to take. Please pray that the boys hearts will be opened to what God has for them on Sunday night. Please also be praying that Aaron and I would be able to prepare to be apart for 3 and a half months. I am not really sure you can prepare for that but anyway. Thank you all for your prayers.
