Aaand... We're Off!

MIKE: OK, so here we are... blogging. We're bloggers now. Let me start off by saying that you should keep your expectations low. By that, I mean that you may not find deep, profound, life-changing thoughts here. We mostly started this just so that we can see ourselves on the internet. You're more likely to find a record of our day-to-day activities and events, or a record of things we find funny. By funny, I mean funny to us. Or maybe just to me. But don't dismiss the deep, profound, life-changing stuff just yet. Maybe we'll surprise you. So, overall, I guess I'm saying that we guarantee nothing.

That being said, Aileen and I are continuing to raise support for our upcoming mission trip to Santa Cruz, Bolivia. This process is admittedly more difficult than I anticipated, but rewarding at the same time. It's amazing to see the ways in which the Lord provides for us, and the people he has brought into our lives that want to partner with us in this mission. In the short time we have been in Helena, God has blessed us with some tremendous friendships to carry into this new adventure. You know that Relient K song, "For the Moments I Feel Faint"? It's been playing in my head this whole last week (one of my all-time favorites).
