Brian finished up his last sermon at Faith Community Church last Sunday, which means we are even closer to beginning Bible Studies in Waterbury. We have one family and another gentleman who have committed to joining us in Waterbury. Brian will be spending much more time in the town in the upcoming weeks making connections and hopefully finding a job. He has applied for a job at Green Mountain Coffee Roasters and the State of VT. The summer farmer's market will begin soon on Thursday evenings. We plan to head up there each week to support the community. Brian has also been working with a group of men on mountain bike trails and is taking the kids to the library each Monday. Last week, the library was closed, but he did meet a lady and her two girls whom I met while on maternity leave at the library. Our kids are very close in ages and the mom is a nurse as well. Please pray that this "library family" will come to know Christ as their Savior!
We feel our biggest challenge is moving to the town. There are not many homes in the area for sale, nor are there apartment complexes from which to rent. Most homes are out of our price range, but we have found two that are possibilities. We are working with a realtor there and will go back this week with a contractor to help figure out how much work needs to be done before either house is livable. Please continue to pray that God would work this detail out in His perfect timing. Also, if you are not receiving our weekly prayer update, and would like to, please send an email to vtplant@gmail.com or visit waterburymission.org and hit contact us.

Glad you guys are getting back into the swing of things. It has been crazy here. Sorry, I have not been over to the blog lately. Know that I/we are praying for you guys even if you don't see me here. Your pictures of the kids are precious..especially the last one of katie wearing her beautiful big smile.
ReplyDeleteGod called you guys to Vermont...HE has a perfect plan and HE will work it all out in HIS time. I know it is hard "waiting!" Hang in there!
Hugs, love, and prayers,
andrea (and Uncle Doug)
That cake looked delicious, but all I could think when I looked at that picture was, how do you keep from eating that sweet boy?! he is a picture of pure joy. Which must be part of the explanation for why his little sis is smiling nonstop too! What blessings.
