Some photos

Hi all! I'm writing from Las Vegas, where it was rainy and VERY windy yesterday... Today, it is supposed to be sunnier, but only about 62 degrees, which is below average, but I'll take it! Here are a few photos we took yesterday while driving through Red Rock National Park, about 1 mile away from the area where we will likely be living. This is Nevada's version of Garden of the Gods, and it felt somewhat familiar, except for the cacti and Joshua trees everywhere!

We were able to attend worship at Faith Lutheran Church (name sound familiar?!?) here in Las Vegas yesterday morning, and saw tons of other young families who are members there - good sign! The service we attended was one of three they have every Sunday, and the childrens' church coordinator told me that she usually has 100 kids in the earlier service and "only" about 60 for the one we attended. But, because it was rainy, lots of people weren't there that normally are... That is such a change from the small church we attend in WP with only about 300 total members!

The pastor's message was about letting God have control and seeing how He provides, because He always provides when He leads us (he used Abraham and Isaac as an example). Later that day, I got a message from a friend and part of what she said was "where God leads, He provides." Another friend texted me and said she's been praying for peace for us while we're here. I feel your prayers, and God is speaking to us. We are feeling His peace, His leading, and His provision. Thank you to all of you back home who are talking to Him on our behalves, we are humbled and so very thankful for you.

The girls are enjoying their time with Aunt Keri (Kyle's sister), and have plans to go with her to Chuck E Cheese tonight. Later today, my mom will be flying into Las Vegas and we'll have some time with her, too. She is coming out to help my aunt (her sister) decorate and furnish the second home she and her husband just bought here. For feeling like we are being sent into the desert all by ourselves, there are sure alot of people we know here, all of a sudden!

I'll try to post some more pictures later. I have some interesting shots to share!! :-D I hope all is well in Colorado, and we are looking forward to coming home at the end of the week. Talk to you all soon!
