Seeing Some Progress

The fourth of July was an awesome retreat for Levi and I. It was our first Wednesday date night, and better yet we both had the day off, so it was an all day date! We woke up late, had breakfast, laid out in his parent's pool, went to Stillwater and rode our bikes around. Then we had a nice dinner by the river and then watched the fireworks shimmer over the St. Croux River. Super beautiful!

On Sunday, we were asked to speak at my work. Northfield Retirement Center has a chapel and a staffed pastor. We were amazed at how many people came. The service held a good 80 people, and our presentation ran so smooth. We ended our 15 minute speech with our PowerPoint presentation. Afterwards they had a special offering and we were greeted with many thanks and exciting encouragement. I am close with many of the residents, and I know it will be so hard to leave in August. Levi even got a few kisses on the cheek! It was very sweet and cute to see him blush!

Today we got an encouraging phone call from Julie Manthey(our friend I mentioned a few posts ago) She informed us that the managers of the apartment complex are letting them move into our place for a lesser amount that they are already are paying at their other apartment. If the paperwork works out it will be 100% a miracle of God that they got in! Thank you God! This means now we can keep our garage for storage. It will come in handy when (God willing) we move down to Cuernavaca after our year in Monterrey.
