Crazy Time

OH this month is going fast. Evelynn was Baptized this month it was a wonderful day for the whole family. I did a lunch after and it was a good time for fellowship. With Alaska not much has happenend with setting a better date of leaving. We still are need 80% before we can head up. But we are very greatful for all the prayers and loving support we are getting from our friends and family. We are hoping to get our movie soon so we can present to our church and Vriesland church. We have to present the movie and information all together in front of church. It is still amazing how God is putting people in our life to help us. I (Kacie) have had the privilege to make a wonderful friendship with a lady that goes to our church. We also have people praying for us. So If you want to know where we are at in our raising of support I would say we are at 25%. I am very excited to tell the Church families and see how everything works out for us to get up to Alaska.

How we have Seen God working!

So this happened a few weeks ago but is still is something wonderful to tell you about. We were told that a good generator is cheaper down here than in Alaska. So we have been looking for one. We wanted a Honda and big enough to power a few things. So we were watching craigslist and other sites for a used one. So one night I found one that was 10 minutes away and the kind we wanted. So I talked to Jared and emailed the guy. When we heard back from the guy we realized how small of a world it is. Jared know the gentleman who was had it for sale and he ended up giving us a good deal to were we could afford it. But it was everything that we were looking for. It was great how everything worked out all. Our prayers were answered. Also we got a call from a church that is going to let us present in front of the church our video and our mission statement. I can't wait to see how God is going to make everything work out. He is great!!


We are working on making prayer cards for people so it can be a reminder anyone to be praying for us. here is some of pictures I have for them.

 If you are in need of a prayer let me know and I will add you to the prayer list.

Something New!!

We found a new Victory Bible Camp website to visit. http://www.vbcalaska.org/ 

Moving out and on

At the beginning of June we moved out of our house and started to rent it out. We moved in with Jared's mom and dad and family. Jared, Evelynn, and I are in the camper. Then Evelynn doesn't wake up everyone at night and me and Jared have time to just us. The other kids sleep in the house upstairs. It is working out good and the kids love the pool. We are still working on rasing suppport. It is amazing how God is bringing people into our lives to help us do His work. We are hoping to talk in front of church soon. We recently made a video while we were at Victory. This video describes what we will be doing at camp. We want to present this to church, friends and family. We would love it if you would pray for us in this transition. If the Lord is willing, we would really like to leave Michigan for sure by the end of summer. We don't have a set date to tell everyone, but we have a season to shoot for. If anyone is interested in supporting us, we kindy ask that the pledge cards get mailed to victory as soon as possible. This is how we keep track of our support level percentage. Once we reach 80%, we can leave for Alaska. We would like to plan a going away party/get together at our curch for all family and friends to say goodbye and have a little fellowship with a good meal. Also, if anyone needs to contact us by mail, our new temporary address is... P.O. BOX 523 Hudsonville, MI 49426

Home from Alaska

So Jared, Evelynn and I went to Alaska to have a bunch of meetings. We were there for a week. It was a fast trip. Evelynn did great thou.  In the meetings we covered health care, housing, community, school, and Jared's work responsibilities. It was great all the information that the camp gave to us. I see changes at camp and how God is working in people there. It was hard to leave camp this time and I can't wait to call it home. It is funny how every time we go to camp we take less pictures because pictures can't even come close to the real site.

The older kids stayed with the grandparents the week we were there. They were happy to see us when we got home. I can't thank everyone enough who has helped with the kids and with bring meals with us having the baby.

Baby is Here!!!

She is here!! Yeah
Name:
Evelynn Grace
Lynn is after my mom's middle name and older sister's middle name. Grace is after my Grandma's middle name.

We went in on Saturday the 30. She finally showed her face at 6:09pm that day. She was born 9 pounds 12 ounces, 21 inches long. She was 15 days early thankfully. The other kids were very excited for her, but the sure did miss mom being home. I came home on Monday May first and Jared started a project of new sink and faucets in the kitchen. So he stayed home the next day to help me and finish the project. It turned in to new plumbing for the kitchen too. Oh so interesting beginning a project. I remember when our oldest came home from the hospital it doesn't  fell like that long ago. Wow the kids grow so fast. Now we are a family or 6 crazy busy but worth every lost second of sleep.

The kids are fighting over who gets to hold Evelynn first. It is cute!

So I am very grateful for everyone who has offered to help. I got out of the house today by myself and it took forever and when I got home I needed a nap. So with Yes I am very great for the help. Thank you Thank you

Easter Sunday

What a wonderful day of praising God's name. I sang in the choir this morning. It went ok but I will say that the rest of the day I had my kankles (they are no longer ankles) up in the air. The kids were very cute all dressed up and the church was smelling of all the flowers. But lets not forget the reason for Easter. It is not because of family or candy or great meals. That God sent his son to die on a cross for all of are sins and that we can say he has risen from the dead. So yes Jesus has Risen! It is amazing to know that because of him all things are possible. I hope your Easter was a restful and peaceful as mine.
