August & September Highlights

This is a picture of us on our Anniversary. We went about an hour drive away to the Starved Rock State Park area in IL. It was a wonderful time!

Camp in Wisconsin was INCREDIBLE.
We saw God use us in so many ways! Scott's missionary hour and Lornel's teaching and the 12 year olds went so well. Thank you for praying! We would absolutely LOVE to go back and serve at the camp again.

It is a BOY
We learned that we are having a Son! Scott said Praise the Lord, God is blessing us with a son. We are both so excited! We have a name picked out we plan to announce when he is born.

Mary Ellen (MOM)
Lornel's Mom is doing well with the treatments. We appreciate your prayers! She has begun the first of 6 weeks of radiation. Everything is going well. We are very thankful to the Lord for taking care of her. We see His hand in allowing the early detection of the cancer. It is a joy to trust our Heavenly Father.

Praises

Trusting, August Plans, & Joys

Trusting our Father
This week we found out that Lornel's Mom, Mary Ellen, has been diagnosed with an early stage of Breast Cancer called Ductal Carcinoma In Situ (DCIS). She begins treatment on 8/13. Again, God has brought us to the place where we have to trust and wait on an all knowing and loving Father. It is a good place to be, not easy, but good. We know Mom and Rob would appreciate your prayers. She has a great attitude and said as I asked about writing about her situation on our blog, "The more prayer the better."

We're Going to Summer Camp
We are going to be serving at a Northland Bible Camp North West Wisconsin Sunday 8/5 through Friday 8/10. Scott was asked by his Uncle and Aunt, who serve as missionaries in NW Wisconsin, to speak on the topic of missions. Lornel will also be helping out with the daily Bible stories to the 12 yr olds.

Six years on August 25
We are so thankful for the years as they fly by. Looking back it still amazes us how God gave us with one another and how He blessed us abundantly. We have not forgotten all that our loved ones gave to us to make our wedding day a dream come true.

Praises

• Lornel is feeling great! Also the baby is moving around and doing well! Ultrasound 8/15
  
• The opportunity work at the camp! Excited about sharing our passion for Missions.
• God working out a "mini honeymoon" get away with Scott's work schedule.
