More Lake Tahoe

Apparently, you can only add a couple photos before the site seizes up. So here's a couple more for ya :)

Lake Tahoe Pictures!

We've been on some amazing adventures since we've been out here. And we've gotten to see some of God's incredible handywork. It has always been easy to say that God made the world, but we've been to some places where I'm standing there, awestruck with what I'm looking at, and I can't help but say, "Wow...You made that?! That's AMAZING!" We'll try to catch you up with a few pictures here and there from some of the places we've been.

These are just a couple pictures of one of my favorite places on earth, Lake Tahoe.

Hooray God!

So, school is still going great. There was an 'Open Heavens' conference this week, so we got to help out with that, and it was really good. Also, Alyson was dancing in her dance ministry class on Tuesday, and she accidentally landed on a metal beam and severely bruised her foot. The bottom of her foot swelled up, and she was in so much pain she could barely walk on it. But we laid our hands on her foot and prayed for it that night, and by Wednesday, all the swelling went away, and the pain went with it! Jesus really is the healer, and it's so cool that He even heals bruised feet. Praise God! We were afraid she wouldn't be able to serve at the conference...you should have seen her hobbling!

John is headed down to Sarasota, Florida for a Great Banquet weekend this Thursday, so we're very excited about that. Be sure to pray that God whacks all those guys good down there.

We love you all, and we're praying huge blessings for all of you!

Outreach and Missions

Last week we were assigned to our outreach for the year. Every Thursday afternoon is dedicated it this. I was placed in an afterschool program at an elementary school. I am really excited about combining two of my loves, kids and God! John is in an outreach called Treasure Hunts. It's basically going out in to the community and ministering to those that God highlights to you. It's not as comfortable as mine, but he picked it to stretch himself.

We had a Revival Group party last night and I brought my chicken club ring....it was a hit! I felt like a real housewife making something for the potluck. It was also a great chance to get know more people outside of school.

Some people have mentioned that they still want to give to us. We would love any other help we can get especially because our mission trip is an added cost. If you would like to donate to our trip you can send money to BSSM:

BSSM
Attn: Kathy Vallaton
933 College View Drive
Redding, CA 96003

This money goes directly into our account for school. We don't know how much our trip is yet because we don't know where we are going yet! We will find out in Novemeber!
