We're not in Kansas anymore!!!

This weekend is the only weekend in the next four weeks that I (Morgann) will be somewhere somewhat familiar!  Having just got back from Little Rock, AR and then preparing to spend the next few weekends in CA, I am looking forward to a visit to our families this weekend.  For the first time in 3 weeks, Nathan and I get to spend the weekend together!  Wahooo!

This weekend is YMI's 1st Annual Volunteer Appreciation Luncheon and I am so excited for it!  I have been working on this event for a few months now, so it's pretty cool to see it come to completion.

Nathan is busy, busy, busy with school and now jumping into recruiting season for BASE Sports Ministry.  As the Athletic Director for Washington State, he is in charge of recruiting all of the churches for summer sports camps.  Often times, that can be a long process of phone calls, paperwork and agreements, so he has to start nearly a year in advance.  We are excited to see how this year's new format is going to allow YMI to partner with more churches in ministry.  To see more about BASE Sports Ministry, a new division of YMI, click here.

Here is how you can pray with us:
1. Pray that the Volunteer Appreciation Luncheon goes well and that we have a good turn out.
2. Pray for Trisha, John, Garrett and Drew who are all YMI Staff traveling to speak at conferences this weekend.  Pray for safe travels and fruitful recruiting!
3. Pray for our missionaries all over the world - that they would be encouraged in the ministry they are doing and listening to God's leading for direction.

Here is how you can praise God with us:
1. Praise God that Nathan and I are able to spend the weekend together and see our families (!!!)
2. Praise God for our newest opportunity to serve in our home church here in Salem as the long-term Sunday School teachers for 5-7 grade!!
3. Praise God that conference season is almost half over and everyone has had safe travels and solid recruitment.  We are so thankful!

And just because I can...THIS BEAUTY was centered directly in front of our apartment on Wednesday!!!  One of our friends, Cassie Forster took the picture :)
