This past weekend we went down to Indiana for what we hoped would be Malachi's last dentist appointment. Unfortunately, he broke part of his wisdom tooth in his sleep last week, so he still has one visit left to go. Thankfully that should be the last one!

We were able to spend some time with Karalise's brothers including see the little doe that Shane shot, and make some really good pizza with Micah.

We also were able to go to our church in Mentone and it was really good to be able to see and reconnect with friends that we hadn't seen for a while! It was also good to hear Pastor speak...it has been a long time.

We finished off the weekend by Malachi helping out some friends with their cars, Kara washing a mountain of dishes, and finishing up our homework assignments for Monday. We were very thankful that we were able to go their and back safely, even with the problems that our car has been having lately.

This is Malachi and Grandma making apple crisp for dessert.

bittersweet time with the fam.

This past weekend we went up to Belding, Michigan, for my cousins funeral. It was a somber affair. not exactly the circumstances on which I would have liked to re-unite with cousins I haven't seen in 3 years, but the time up north was over all good. Kara was able to get to know my family on a level she would have otherwise not been able to, and we were able to show the love of Jesus to a heart broken group mourning the loss of a loved one, Johnny will be missed. Please be in prayer for my family as they wrestle with the loss of someone so young. Please pray that we would be able to answer any questions about life, death, and eternity that might come out of this grieving process.
Thank you for your prayers

Fourth Block of classes

CLASS:
We just started our fourth block of classes this morning. We finished up studying Family Relationships and Angelology and started Galatians and 1st&2nd Peter. We are still studying Romans and Malachi is taking Christian Apologetics.

FRIENDS:
The picture on the left is from when one of our new friends, Andy took us to dinner last week so we could get to know to each other. It was really cool to be able to share with each other what God has done in all of our lives. We also enjoyed talking about Missions in general, and then what God has been doing in New Tribes Mission and how He has challenged our lives through our recent speaker and missionary from the Siar tribe in New Guinea. Needless to say we enjoyed our time of fellowship and chinese food together!

Please pray for us as we both have not been feeling well for a while, because of this we have both really been dragging and it makes it really hard to stay on top of things.

Thanks!
Love,
Malachi and Karalise
