My Bad...

It has been a very busy month! We hope all is well where ever you are. Things in Texas have been crazy! School has been going great this semester. I've got 4 classes and they have been well. It has been great because two of my classes have the same professor and he likes to talk about the same topics in each class. I also am really enjoying my student ministry class. We have been learning a lot of great techniques and new ways of doing youth ministry. In general class is going good.

Youth Ministry Lab has been keeping me busy also. We've been meeting for several weeks and have some great things planned. God is really going to bless Lab this year, we have some great speakers and sessions. This year I have been asked to write and possibly speak in a breakout session. It will focus on technology, shocker, and I'll be speaking to pastors and volunteers on how to incorporate technology in a youth group effectively.

Things at Apple have been going good as well. I've gotten some great new employees. Logan Sharp has joined the group as well as a friend of mine, Adam Southerland. We are getting ready for the holiday season and it is going to be crazy! Can't wait!!

Speaking of the holidays, we have gotten our final itinerary for our Disney trip in November. Thank you again to our families for providing for us the opportunity to go! We are going to all the parks and eating meals with characters and princesses! Diamend is so excited and I am too! We haven't had a vacation for so long, we are really needing it.

God has really been working in our lives and there may be some potential movement forward coming in the future. We have been really growing and learning more and more each day to trust in Him and His plan. It has been a real test but we have been growing closer together and closer to Him through all our struggles. Thank you all for your prayer and love during these last few months. We can't wait to be back in Illinois for Christmas! If anyone wants to visit let us know!! We'd love to show you Fort Worth!

Until He Comes,

Tony
