We're Here!! (Part Two)


Picking up where I left off, we can't even begin to thank Jake's AMAZING parents for driving our moving truck for us as well as helping us get settled in. We love you guys so much and although it's incredibly hard to be away from home, we're able to do it because we have supportive parents who remind us that this is where the Lord has pointed us. So, thanks Mom and Dad Posey! We love you!!



We were so thrilled that the Lord also allowed us to see some of our very best friends, Ryan and Kirsten Kurvits. They were on their way back to Canada and were in Jackson right as we arrived. The Lord is so faithful to bring along a little encouragement right when you need it, and these two have never been anything but encouraging. We are so thankful for you two and for all the help you gave to get us settled! We're SO excited to see all the Lord does in your lives as you start back up at the Missionary Training Center!!



We were able to get settled pretty quickly (hallelujah!) and we love our new home sweet home! When we found out we'd be living off campus, we were excited, but also a little worried about how that would work out as far as us being involved, and getting to know other students as well as staff. The longer we thought about it, the more we realized the Lord had put us there for a reason. We'd always said we wanted a place we could open up to others, where we could invest, encourage and enjoy the company of the students and staff. We are SO excited to see the opportunities the Lord will give us to be an encouragement to others and pray that our home will be a fountain of His grace in the lives of those around us.



Since we got to school about 2 weeks early and we got unpacked a lot faster than we anticipated, we were able to go up to Grand Rapids, MI to visit Jordan and Lauren (and Rowan)!! Best 3 days ever! The fact that we have family only and hour and 45 minutes away is so comforting! We LOVE these 3 (soon to be 4!!) and were so glad the Lord worked everything out for us to get to spend some quality time with them before school gets hectic. Thank you two for opening your home! We love you!!



Thanks to everyone who's been praying for us as we get settled! The Lord has already proven himself faithful in a million different ways, and we're anxious to dive deep into His Word and have it transform the way we look at life. How amazing to know that we have everything we need to have life and have it abundantly!!

 We love y'all and couldn't do this without your prayers! Keep them coming!
