Hey Everybody!!!

so this week has been crazy!!
We are settled into our new apartment, trying as hard as we can to make it feel like home, checking out yard sales to try and find nice stuff!! we are now right into the swing of "paying rent" so this is where were really relying on Gods provision, coz we can go without some things to save on the cashers, but im pretty sure the rental guy wont go for that idea... Ah well..
Claire is loving school and learning so much from it.. Its just amazing to have speakers that normally you would wait a year to go and listen to, speaking to you everyday!!! Claire is starting to plan for the 1st year mission trip, (which is supposed to be self funded i.e Fundrasing..) she really has on her heart to go to Croatia, so if anyone has it on their heart to support her in that, that would be awesome!! she feels like God is on that, so thats what were going to go for!!
Working with brian has been great, i am learning alot from him, but were also starting to form a pretty good friendship, and we both seem to be appreciating what we have got going here.
We finally sealed the distribution deal, so look out australia, there is going to be a whole lot of Bethel Music coming your way, The new Here is Love CD came out and its awesome, brian has a new acoustic worship album coming out soon and Leah also has a solo album coming out before the end of the year...

I got to play at the friday night service, was pretty hard, as the first time I had heard one of the songs was when we started playing it in the worship set, Talk about learning on the run, anyway it all worked out, I then got to play again on sunday night, filling in for someone, and that was a much better night of worship, but even trickier, as i didnt have any charts, and only knew a few of the songs... but it was great worship and went for nearly 2 hours..

were having fun here and really learning alot, we are however missing our friends, and think about your daily..

please keep us in your prayers, we really feel like God is opening up so many doors for us, and we just ask that you pray for abundant blessings and that we continue to grow in honor and learn to live in the presence more and more..

Cheers..

So... this week has been pretty crazy,
we worked on a distribution deal with the bethel albums for Australia and NZ, (thanks Gore your a freeking legend) so Australia get ready to see alot more of bethels music!
Claire went on retreat with her group up to a ranch, (she hasnt come back yet but im eagerly waiting for her to) while she was away i moved all our stuff into our very own apartment!! its awesome! we will take photos and send them over when we have settled in. it feels really good to be in our own place, and we really thank God for it! Such a blessing...
Yesterday i went on a Hunt with Brian and a few of his mates, He had a friend that came over from Pennsylvania especially to go hunt a bear, it was quite an experience.

So far we are having a great time, connections are being made and strong relationships are being formed, we are so thankful for His blessings every day,
Keep praying for us, pray that doors continue to be open and just unmerited favor is poured over us... And if you know anyone with lots of spare cash, get them to send us some ;-)
miss you all..
