Snowmobile!




The last time I remember using my snowmobile was when I was still in high school, and that was about 7 years ago. This last Friday I was able to take a day and get away for a few hours and get out on the trails and lake up here and go, and I mean these things can really go. A friend and I took off in the morning and put on about 80 miles in 3 hours and took a great trip around Rainy Lake and other local lakes. It was so amazing to see the wonders of Gods creation. We saw a wolf, a deer, a fox, along with the snow covered lakes and islands, it was great.

I must admit that I have never been a fan of being on a frozen lake, but I made it. It really freaked me out when we would get to a spot on the lake where the wind had blown the snow off the lake and left bare spots, where you could see the ice and then remember that you were on the lake, but I was following so I guess if the ice would have been unsafe I would have seen the hole! It was a great day to get out and get some fresh air.


Drew has continued to enjoy the cold weather and the snow. He gets out on walks with us a couple times a week, and looks so great in his winter weather gear. He loves to play in the snow and mom and him often even bring the snow inside to play when it gets to far below zero to play outside.

Andrew is looking so grown up in his warm clothes, standing up and all. Sure miss you guys!! Where's the picture of the wolf,deer,etc.? Just kidding, but didn't you know that it is more safe to fish on the ice than ride? Was talking to a pro-icefisherman and he was saying how dangerous the ice is near the islands because of current and stuff, so be careful!

Getting better and getting ready to go home!

Hey There! We thank all of you so much for all of your prayer support through this entire process. Go sure had His hand in this from the beginning. Anna and Micah are both doing just great. Yesterday was a hard day for Anna, She was very tired and had a hard time as the Doctors began to take her off of some of the pain meds she was not feeling good. She began to get a high temp,but that was all taken care of by early in the night and she slept great. She will be again trying to get of the IV pain meds and move to pills, if this goes well today we will be on our way home to see Drew tomorrow. Anna and I are both really loving the calm personality that God gave to little Micah as we know the high energy that Drew has waiting for us at home. We can't wait to see his little smile again and hear all of his animal noises and cars sounds. It will be so great to see the way that God grows these two boys only 17 months apart. It will be crazy and great all at the same time. Pray

Big Bro Twin Cities Champion/Little Sis Big Woods 1/2 Marathon Champion

My brother and I are the crazy runners in our family! We took on the Twin Cities Marathon challenge on October 7th and trained like mad to get ready for the event. We began the morning feeling great and ready to take on the challenge before us, yet not knowing only one of us would finish. Ben was taking on his first marathon and was looking forward to finishing and enjoying this wild adventure! I however have done a few of these already and was aimed to kick some butt in the process. So, different goals, but the same idea in mind-lets run the race for Christ. The race did not go as planned for me. The weather was extremely hot and humid and it totally took over my body. All I can really remember is thinking, "Wow it is really hot and I am really sweating!" With little to drink I passed out at mile 10 of the marathon! My time at that point was 1 hour 7 minutes..... on track for an amazing marathon. Truly discouraged I attempted to get back in the race to pass out AGAIN at mil

Wolf River White Water Rafting Youth Trip!

Image
We were able to start the tradition of taking the International Falls youth to the great Wolf River. We took a great group of kids who did not know what to expect and drove the 10 hours to the river. We spend 2 days rafting and then hit the road for home. The students and leaders had a great time navigating the rapids themselves, flipping a boat or two and of course the water falls were a huge hit. U had the opportunity to sit down at the camp fire and one day in our boat with some of the students who do not regularly come to our ministry and talk about the relationship with Christ. These discussions where by far the highlight of my trip, getting to encourage students in their faith and hear the testimony about how they came to know the Lord was just awesome. Our first night it rained more than i have ever seen, and most of our tents stayed dry. But our two days on the river could not have been any better bright sun and 85 or so which is really hot for us from the far north. We had on
