Dear Friends,

Welcome to February! I'm not going to lie, I'm pretty excited that we're slowly getting out of winter and into spring!

Speaking of exciting...I have some news for anyone who was not here this past Sunday...Leah and I are engaged! Pretty neat, right?

Anyhow, I hope you are all having an amazing week. Please check out the information below as there are some changes from what you may have heard elsewhere.

Also, our Winter Newsletter is attached below, check it out if you haven't seen it already!

That's all for now!

Peace

Verse of the Week:

Couch Connections:

I am in my office Tuesday - Friday from 9:00 - 6:00 and am more than happy to have guests! If any students want to stop by, I have Mexican Coke in the fridge, Wifi for homework, a couch worth sitting in, and an activity table if you just want to play. Come by to visit anytime during my work hours! Maybe you'll get your picture posted on Facbook like Alex Klinglesmith, Evan Mackes, and Kaylyn King!

One-On-Ones:
