November Update

Good Morning All,

It's hard to believe that October is gone! November is here, and that means Thanksgiving is just around the corner. Although there is never a day where we don't have many things to be thankful for, it is always a blessing to set aside time to make it a point to give thanks. With the new month comes more birthdays for our family: Only eight days left until Christie's birthday, and eleven until Becca's!

On Wednesday of this week, we enjoyed getting to meet some of our new neighbors that have recently moved into the houses that Challenger Homes has built in our neighborhood. For Halloween, we set up a table with candy and hot chocolate at our house; we were also able to pass out Gospel tracts with the treats. I've included some pictures of all of us in costume below...

In the past week, we've also enjoyed visiting with Uncle Gary and Aunt Darlene (Mom's aunt and uncle) who are here from Tennessee.

This morning, we will head out soon to participate in NiceServe with our church. NiceServe happens a few times a year, and is a practical way of serving our community with the love of Christ. For example, the first time we participated, we were able to assist an injured Iraqi veteran and his wife by totally transforming the landscaping at their house; today we will be helping out a local elementary school that is in need of some restoration. Pray that we are able to bless those that we come in contact with today.

For the Tribe,

 -Nate




Josh and I were cowboy buddies; I took him trick-or-treating, and everyone thought he was pretty cute!
