Summer Update

Mellette Moments

July 2012 - Lido Beach, Sarasota, Florida - Family Vacation

In May, Jerad resigned from his position at PA Counseling and entered the full-time job of deputation.  In June, I packed up my classroom at Lancaster County Christian School. Sniff, sniff.  I finished on a high note, though, as this 5^th grade class was the best class I’ve taught in 12 years!  They threw a creative - and quite generous - send-off Canadian style celebration the last day of school for me.  I was so touched…lots of tears were shed!  Gabriel joyfully finished up 4^th grade – which was probably his most challenging year thus far.  Perhaps his tough 4^th grade experience will help make his transition to homeschooling - me, being his teacher - more enjoyable! Let’s hope!  Morgan was very sad to say good-bye to her 2^nd grade class and her favorite teacher…she even named her new kitty, Ally Cat, after her teacher, Ally Horst!  Morgan had a very eventful year…she started the year off with a broken collarbone, then her heart surgery and she ended the year with a bicycle accident that gave her a concussion!  She also experienced the untimely death of one of her friend’s mom.  We’ve shed more tears this year, but our little tomboy is doing well overall. 

Please pray for Gabriel & Morgan as they make the transition to a new culture, learn and new language AND as they make the adjustment to homeschooling

God is Working in Powerful Ways!

Stepping out in faith is an exciting way to live!  We have already seen God provide in amazing ways and we’re already anticipating how He’s going to provide for us in the near future.  We have put offers on 2 different homes in Montreal, but both were rejected.  It can be discouraging, but we know God will provide – in His perfect timing!  With each rejection, though, more accommodating homes have surfaced.  We want to live near the church so we can use our home for youth group, homeschool classes, mission teams, etc. 

Please continue to pray for this need. 

Thank you!
