Update on the Jaarsma household

Hey guys, just wanted to give you guys an update with what's going on over here. Ummm there are a few things. Justin has been attending his first year training for his electrical apprenticeship, and he is doing wonderful. He hasn't gotten below an 83 on any of his test yet and he's only got two weeks left, so we are pretty excited that he is doing so well. My work is going well, I have been working at this place for over a year now and it's pretty rockin. My boss bought Justin and I a Wii for my Christmas bonus so we were both pretty excited about that. We've been playing non stop. We have been so busy with being involved in our church. Justin was baptized and we were both accepted as members in our church on December 2nd. So that was sweet. We're pretty busy being involved with kids ministry, youth ministry and small group. We have been asked to be leaders with a group of our youth that are doing a missions trip down to Brazil in August. We were praying about it wondering if Justin would be able to get the time off and God answered our prayers. Justin went in and talked to his boss and they saw this as a special occasion and he was able to get the three weeks off. We are so excited to go! that's what is new with us. If you guys wanted to pray for us we really could use it. Main thing, We are so lonely. We don't have people that call and want to hang out with us ever. And it's been really hard. We are missing hanging out with Christian people who really want to get to know us and what not.... (Downey, Justin is missing you so very much..... as am I) We do have the guys in caronport, but we rarely get out there and when we do.... they're all busy, and so it's been very hard on us. Also you could pray for our trip to Brazil. We are very excited to go with the groups of kids that we are.... and it will be so sweet to see God working in they're lives. We're are also anxiously awaiting my nephew who will be arriving in april! There is so much going on. Ya, we miss you guys. So glad to hear all the updates and what not. Hope to see some of you guys soon.... sorry if this is so random and all over the place I have so much to do in the next hour.... but ya, we miss you guys and hope you are all doing well.
