More change here in Adams, TN! The weather is cooling down and the leaves are changing! It is absolutely gorgeous here at the base. The changing leaves are such a beautiful example of the lives being changed here as the new DTS is in the middle of their  3rd week!

     Matt and I are still living upstairs in the main house, but we are preparing to move into a house within the next month or so. It has been very trying to always stay positive being newly married and living in community. We are looking forward to finally unpacking our things and setting up our new home. There is a lot going on here at the base. Matt and I were asked to lead the School Of Ministry Development (SOMD) on their outreach to Mexico City in November for 3 weeks. After a lot of prayer, Matt and I feel that it is an adventure that God is wanting to take us on. It is a bit scary as common sense is telling us the logical thing to do is to stay home and settle into life. One of the biggest struggles we are facing is to trust God's voice despite physical obstacles that may stand in our way such as finances or circumstances. When we accepted the call to missions, part of that was releasing what the world says we should do and following God's will, even when it doesn't make sense. We are excited to see what the Lord is going to be showing us through this opportunity. 

     It's back to court for me and my family on October 23, hopefully for the last time. The judge in charge of the case has recalled his sentence of 13 years. We are ready to put this behind us and finally be able to focus on the good memories of my mom and not be forced to think of what happened to her. This has brought about a whole new array of emotions as we thought we were finally finished with court. Please continue to lift my family up in prayer as together as we turn the page to the longest chapter in our lives. Thank you all for your faithful prayers and support. I am blessed to have you all in my life!
