Will moved into his house! Where we will be living once we get married! It has been a long week of working hard there. Unpacking him, fixing things up and cleaning! The house is a little 3 bed 2 bath farm house on 10 acrs. When looking for a house we both wanted something we can have others too and have a ministry of our own at. One of the big things was to have some land to do camp fires and play games on. This way we can fellowship with others.
Here are some pics:

We have also taken another big step of faith. As some know we have taken off the summer of teaching at Ridgecrest to search out what and where God wants us as a couple. It has been a hard and crazy road so far. We have tried out a few church's in Billings where the house is located so we can pour back into the community we will be living in. Also just weeing different parts of ministry besides youth. We both love working with the youth but have both had a feeling that God is wants us to be else where or doing something different.
One thing both of us have noticed is that friends and family from both church and Kansas city area aren't agreeing with us getting a house down here or searching out what God's plan for us is.
This has been so hard on the both of us. To see relationships that mean a lot to us being threatened because we will either be across town from them or 2 and 1/2 hours away.
My Parents have always told me " that we didn't raise you to stay in our house or be by our side at all times. We raised you to start your own life and to live on your own. If we didn't do that then we didn't do our jobs."
Not everyone is meant to stay in Raytown the rest of their life's. It has been a great place to grow up and to learn what life is really about. At some point in time everyone is ready to get out of there.
Springfield area has been great to Will and I. We have both grown a lot as a person and a couple. We have both prayed and seeked where we should be and believe that down in this area is going to offer many more opportunities for our life's. As far of keeping in touch. Everyone is just a phone call away and we are still coming to visit and eager all of you all to come down and visit as well. We have room to host who ever and it really isn't a bad drive with lots of fun things to do down here too.
As far as our church family. We love and miss you all. Ridgecrest has been great! We are just seek where God may want us to move next. Who knows it may just be a different ministry with in the church. Both of us plane on keeping in touch either way.
