Exciting weekend

This weekend we were quite busy. It started with going to the highschool's performance of 12 Angry Men. They did a great job! The director created a theater in the round experience and it was new for me. The real excitement occured after the play when there was smoke billowing from the art room. I guess the kiln was too close to some papers and started a small fire. Luckily it was caught quickly and there was very little damage...just a lot of smoke. Quite the excitement! Saturday we went to a Marquette University basketball game with some friends from school. We made the mistake of sitting with the opposing team and that created a little bit of tension at times. But it was a fun time with friends anyways.

In other news... I was having some trouble hearing out of my left ear...I had a sinus infection and thought I developed an ear infection. I went to the doctor and come to find out I had messed up my ear drum somehow. About 10 days later I went back, because I still couldn't hear and had to go to an ear, nose, and throat doctor to find out what was wrong. 5 min of talking, 10 min of checking, and 1 tuning fork later, I found out I just had fluid behind my ear and the doctor gave me some chipmunk excerises and the cottonball sensation is gone! Praise the Lord!

We had out to Grand Rapids on Wedsneday for some much needed family time!!! We are going to be taking the train...always a fun time! Wish you all a very happy and blessed Thanksgiving!

Answer to Prayer and a prayer request

Ever since we moved to Milwaukee we have been trying to find a church. We having been praying about this and recently felt like we should go back to a church we attended back in August. We were welcomed with open arms. The pastor and his wife visited with us on Friday and answered all the questions we had. Today we were invited to a family's house for lunch and it was so nice to get to know people and be a part of fellowship again. It is new church plant and it is exciting to be a part of a new work as well. Thank you all for your prayers!

This past Friday, Eric's mom was readmitted to the hospital with an infected bedsore. Please be praying for her she is in a lot of pain and is very discouraged right now. It is God's grace that allowed them to catch it before the infection had spread throughout her body. Hope fully the infection will clear soon and it will heal without the need of surgery!
