Birthdays + Hello Heber!

Hello from Heber City, Utah!


Just a few a days ago we moved in to our new apartment in Heber, Utah! We are very excited to live down here and are excited to get involved in the community. We are only 20 minutes from where we werAdd Videoe living in Park City, so we are keeping our same jobs. We signed an 8 month lease as we are hoping to leave for Thailand in November. We are keeping our old PO Box as well.

Birthdays! Moriah turned 1 year old on February 9th. WHAT A FUN and CRAZY YEAR! She just started walking, and her favorite words are daddy, baby and ba-ba (but really, she says daddy ALL THE TIME!). Her favorite things in this last month: pulling off her glasses, wearing sunglasses, playing with her cousins, blowing her nose (and yours), and looking at herself in the mirror. Jason turned 27 in February and my birthday is on Easter Sunday this year.
On a sad note, I returned home to Mission Viejo (with Moriah) in early February to attend a funeral for Amanda (Hoffman) Gordon, one of my best friends from middle school/high school. So hard to believe she is gone. The memories are countless, and I know I will hold her memory in my heart forever. She left behind her parents, husband, and two kids.












Thailand is on our minds and it is so hard to be patient! God has raised up some amazing partners in the last few months and we are very grateful. We are still praying for more individuals and churches to become monthly financial partners and prayer partners with us for our first 5 year term. Financially, we are about 1/5 of the way there! Still a long way to go, but we can only trust Him and not ourselves!



We see this waiting time as amazing preparation for the field. In the last few weeks, we have really felt the opportunity to trust Him in a way that we haven’t trusted Him before. All I know is that knowing Jesus is freeing, He takes away fear and gives undeniable courage. He is so good!

Would love to know how you’re doing!

Lots of love,

-Jenn, Jason and Moriah
