Exciting News!

NATHAN HAS AN INTERVIEW NEXT WEDNESDAY AT HUSSON UNIVERSITY! We are ecstatic. We had faith that everything would work out, and now we are watching it start to happen. Life is an amazing test of faith, and waiting to hear about pharmacy school has been quite the test in miniature. I can't even tell you how many little miracles we've seen. Nathan has been SO determined to meet this goal. We have felt the Lord's hand in our lives in so many ways. I feel so overwhelmed with gratitude right now. I know there are a lot of our friends and family who have been praying for Nathan's success. Thank you! I really feel like Nathan is going to do so well in his interview, and he'll be accepted into Husson University's class for this Fall.

Quick Update!

I've been awful about posting! I have been taking lots of pictures and video this summer, but I haven't taken the time to blog about them. And now I don't have the time! We've done a lot of fun things. We move to Maine in exactly two weeks (August 9th). I think that what will happen is that I'll do some serious back-blogging once we get settled in Maine. The important thing is that I took the pictures and video, right?

So, here's what's up. Nathan has been in touch with Husson University all summer about their pharmacy program. Since they are a new school, they have taken their time filling their class. They just received their pre-candicacy status last month, which means that they can start their pharmacy school this Fall. They told Nathan over the phone that they'd like to interview him, but technically he doesn't meet their requirements until he gets his higher P-CAT score and a higher GPA. The P-CAT comes in the mail anytime. He was one percentage too low last time, so we are certain he'll meet that requirement this time. (THIS JUST IN ON JULY 27TH: NATHAN GOT ABOVE AND BEYOND WHAT HE NEEDED ON THE P-CAT). He's getting A's in his summer courses, so he's going to meet the GPA requirement as well. It boils down to the school having open spots so that they can interview and accept Nathan at the last second. We really feel like it's going to happen. As I mentioned in our previous post, we are moving to Maine either way. Leap of faith baby!

Oh, alright. I guess I'll post a couple pictures. We went to the zoo with Nathan's mission buddy Clifford and his wife Hillary and beautiful daughter Lilly (just one of FOUR trips to the zoo this summer). Here are a couple of the pictures we took while there. I plan on back-blogging the other trips later (wink wink).
