Today is our moving day...again!
There is no way to express in words how much we have LOVED living at NTBI. It has been a truly amazing, life-changing two years. We have so many good memories of our life here. And though we are sad to leave the relationships that we have built here, we are also excited to move on to our next stage of life.
The past couple of weeks have been absolutely packed. We have tried to make the most of the rest of our time here!
Some of what we have been up to:
I went on a field trip with Kaine's class to Camp Michandoh. It was so fun to see him interact with the kids in his class!
We said good-bye to some truly wonderful childcare teachers. Our kids have been so blessed by NTBI's childcare! (and sadly, I didn't get a picture of Halle with her preschool teachers...)
One of our good friends, Alex (a student in our class) came up to play Legos with Kaine for an afternoon. Kaine loved it! Alex, thank you so much for doing that with Kaine!
Nathan ran a 5k one morning...
And then we graduated later that morning!! It felt a little weird to put on a cap and gown and march down an aisle to "Pomp and Circumstance" again, at 30 years old! But it was such a great graduation. Our teacher, Scot, had a really good message to our class that challenged and motivated us. And my brother in law, Aaron also gave a great speech...read Jill's blogpost here to read his speech!
It was so great to see Scot again. Remember a few months ago, I did a blogpost about this awesome family? Well, Scot traveled back up to MI to speak at our graduation...what a blessing!
We have had many picnics and great times of fellowship with our friends...
And we have said some vere hard goodbyes. This is Lisa: a very godly, loving, faithful woman who has mentored me these past 2 years. I am so thankful that God put her into my life.
We are so thankful that, with all of these moves our family is making, our God is faithful. We are privileged to serve Him!

Rachel, i remember how uncertain we were about you guys moving to NTBI two years ago and a little concerned about the Bible training that you were going to have. But God indeed was faithful and introduced us a wonderful community of godly disciples teaching the Word. NTBI was a good experience for us too :)
love ya,

blessings on your next phase of the journey! i know you'll be busy but we'd love to picnic with you this summer & hear more about your plans.
It was a great experience for everyone involved.
