Andy Update

Thanks to all of you who have been asking about Andy. He is currently in Kabul for a few more days and then he will be heading about 25 miles South to a post called Shank. The Corps of Engineers isn't actually established in Shank yet and Andy will be in charge of getting their office there all set up and running. It seems like a pretty intimidating job, but I know that Andy will do so well. He also had the opportunity to attend some church meetings while he has been in Kabul. Its amazing where you can find the church, and we are so grateful that there are members over in Afghanistan. Andy was actually set apart as the Serviceman's group leader for the Shank post. I am so excited for him to be able to serve in the church while still deployed. He was told that there are a total of 9 members of the church in Shank, including himself. Here is a picture of Andy and a couple of others from the Branch in Kabul. Thanks to all of you for your thoughts and prayers, we know they are making a difference for us.


On a side note, I have been trying to keep myself busy while I am here in Idaho. I am going to start dabbling in some sewing projects, as soon as I can get penciled into my moms busy schedule. She will have to practice a lot of patience in teaching me to sew, but I am confident that I am going to get it down. I have also been trying to decorate my room here at my parents house and decided that I would frame some more of Andy and my wedding pictures to hang up. I love the way our 10x10s turned out!


And lastly, I couldn't resist sharing this picture. Noah is usually very patient while I do my morning workout..this morning while swinging, I looked over and saw this, I guess watching me exercise isn't that exciting!

Beautiful pictures! My mom has been trying to teach me to sew forever, but I just can't seem to catch on. I'm sure you'll do better than me since you are much more crafty than I am! Hope to be able to see you this weekend when we are in IF!

You'll have to teach me to sew after you learn!! I have a sewing machine, but it sits in the closet a lot more than it should!

Thanks for keeping us posted. It was nice to see a picture of him over there.

Good luck with sewing, once you learn you can teach me.

The pictures are beautiful.

Noah is a champ. While I miss the gym, it is a blessing when your kids will let you work out at home.

Whew...I think that covers everything.

Love ya.

It must be very comforting for Andy to have other members of the church there and to still be able to serve in the church while he's gone. The wedding pictures are beautiful!
