Lily learned to brush her teeth this month!

Hello Friends and Prayer Warriors!  I hope you've had a blessed week.  Many of you live in areas affected by Irene, so please know that our thoughts and prayers are with you as you recover and clean up!

We have just arrived back in TN after spending a little time in NC.  Lily celebrated her first birthday with friends and family, and especially grandparents!  She also had her 12 month checkup and is growing like a weed!  She's now in the 100th percentile for height, but the doctor assured us she'll slow down in the next year or so. 

Lily was super cute for her birthday, but she wasn't too fond of the cake!

In addition to visiting family, we visited with supporters and potential supporters.  We've added a couple of new partners in the last week, and we are truly thankful for them!

In ministry news, Bill and Judi Havens have been a part of Mountain Vision for the last 3 years, and last week officially transitioned out of the ministry because the Lord is leading them to go back to Russia with a different organization.  We love them and wish them all the best in this new adventure they're embarking on.  Bill ran the day to day operations of our Storehouse, so please pray for our team, Daniel and Meredith, Charlie and Earlene, as we adjust to life without the Havens.  So far, things are running smoothly thanks to some outstanding volunteers.  Please continue to pray the Lord would raise up more volunteers to lead and carry out the ministry at the Storehouse. 

In the coming weeks, I (Daniel) will begin recruiting potential students for the pastor training ministry we hope to launch in the spring.  Please pray that the Lord would open the appropriate doors, and that local pastors would recognize the value of higher education and be willing to learn.

Ready for my wagon ride.  Thanks Mrs. Paige for the new hat!
Where is Lily?
Peek-a-boo!  Lily learned this on her way to Mema's house!

Thank you so much for all your prayers and support!  We love you!
