The Support Letter

Well, we've finally done it. After a few months of hemmin' and hawin' we've finally got our newest support letter written. If you've ever had to write one of these letters you know that it can be daunting to try and figure out exactly how to word the dreams in your heart. On top of that you are hoping that these dreams in your heart will touch someone else enough to support those dreams. It is a combo of faith, art and just plain ol' writing.

One of the things that we want to be made clear is that we want partners in ministry. We want to join our lives and ministry together with others who have the same vision and hope for the Gospel. We're hoping that was/is communicated through our latest letter, but we also know that the best way we can communicate our passion is by meeting with you face to face and sharing. We're pretty good writers, if I do say so myself, but we're much better when we can look you in the eye answer all your questions.

Feel free to contact us with your questions (email, or otherwise) and don't be surprised if we contact you really soon. I mean just think, if we come and visit we'll bring this little thing...

It's a win/win I think. 

 

We're Back

I know you've missed us.
Don't lie.

We're back and we have so much to share. I hope that our silence hasn't made you forget us! We hope that you'll join the journey that we are on. So much has happened since we last spoke...

Like this:

Yep, that is nearly 8 months of cuteness right there. She doesn't sleep much, but we like her anyway.

We are eager to share with you what God is doing, but for now feel free to read a bit about it on The Mission page.

We promise to update regularly (at lease 1 x per week) and add lots of super cute pictures of the kid. I mean an annoying amount of cute pictures- because we know that is really why you are visiting the blog.

Really, truly we're glad to be back and to share with you the crazy leaps of faith that God is entrusting us with...Thanks for being interested enough to stick with us. We hope you're blessed.

Woah Baby!

Woah Baby! That is all you can say when you are 4'11, weigh a buck fifteen (pre-pregnancy) and have a 9lb 1oz. baby. Yep, that's right. We welcomed our handful of joy, Amelia "Millie" Grace Hoover, into this world early last Monday morning. She came barreling into the world hand out ahead of her Super Woman style in the wee smalls of the morning. She is the sweetest- and yes, I know I am biased.

Snug as a bug!

Sleeping away!

Kyle anxiously awaiting her arrival!

First family photo!

Car ride home! I am lovin' my car seat!

That concludes our tour of Millie's arrival. Thanks to all of you who have sent facebook, email, text message and phone love our way. We can't wait to introduce you to this doll in person over the next months and years. We feel so blessed to have so many friends willing to invest in us and this new little one. Her Mano (a tribe in Liberia) name was emailed to us from a friend in Liberia just this morning. It is Whylalehseh which means "God is Good"- Isn't that so true?

Much Love to All,
Kyle and Jessica
