Denver Update


For those of you who have been so good to say you'd pray for Stephen, here is the latest. After arriving in Denver, he was initiated quickly into the climate! Lots of snow that first week there. He spent the week scouting out the restaurants, stores, etc., and then that first Sunday went up to Lafayette, Colorado and attended a thriving contemporary church. After the service, he and his friends went out into the Rockies and hiked about 7 miles and as Stephen put it "def saw some bear claw prints". Whoa. The next week he landed a job, after calling 27 plumbers in the area. He works now full-time as a plumber-apprentice. After 60 days they will raise his pay and provide benefits. We pray all will work out in that area. He is training and experiencing some interesting sights and work situations!

This past weekend he visited another church and will probably be looking around for a while until he finds what he wants. The area had warm weather again this past weekend but today he woke up to more snow. Stephen has always loved hot weather and desert areas so he's got some acclimating to do.

Thank you for all your prayers. We are proud of the boy and hope he will thrive and grow in his new home.
