January Update 2013

January Update 2013, a set on Flickr.

"HEY" from the Rocky mountains! We had so much fun in CA in December, that we didn't write a December update. But we had such an amazing and great time in CA visiting our friends and family! It was so good to see many of you; we wish we could see and hang out with all of the amazing people who the Lord has blessed our lives with; we love you guys!

When we got back to CO (Jan 3), we immediately had some difficulty as Gabby got really sick which lasted TWO weeks! She came under walking pnuemonia, but thank God, she's completey over it! Thanks for the prayer guys!

There's been several snow storms and the camp is FULL and covered with snow; it truly is a "winter wonder land." Snow storms mean a lot of work for me, but it's good air and good exercise. =) After the storms pass, we have beautiful royal, blue skies, with deep white powdery snow; one day it was like walking on bubbles! We're about to get hit this weekend with another big storm. Thank God, we haven't had any accidents (since the deer incident in July).

We're focussing our attention in Glenwood Springs - the church. You can check out the website - www.CalvaryGlenwood.org - We are vamping up for a big Easter church re-launch! God has brought some very, very sweet people to the church, and we are truly enriched by them. We are also preparing for another Bible college semester, but this time we are only having TWO students/two guys. We're really looking forward to it. They arrive this Monday! Although we are having this semseter, we are still going to be giving most of our attention to the church plant.

We've begun to practivce every Wednesday, cultivating/developing/building a worship team for the church! It's pretty exciting. Right now it looks like we have me (guitar), a real good bass player, and a flautist! It's coming together! Pray that the Lord brings the final piece to the puzzle... a percussionist! =) The Lord has really been using and blessing the worship ministry; it's been an incredible privilege for me. Gabby has been very effective in the children's ministry teaching and loving the kids every week. She's prepared Sunday school lessons and crafts through March!

Please keep us in prayer, that the Lord would give us grace and strength for each day; that He would lead and direct us; for the difficulties which we face; for the Bible college students and the semester; for Jeff and his family; for the Lord to really do something awesome in Glenwood Springs! We love you guys so much, and can't tell you how much we appreciate you support and prayers!

In His Service,

Adriel and Gabriella
