Hmm... what has been going on with the Holden's?
We became Costco members! That has been fun. We get free samples of food throughout the store. Yum! And the savings is pretty good, too. Especially on gas! We were able to get it for 4.07/gal. Aside from Costco, the cheapest gas was 4.11/gal.

Kelly has two days off during the week. One day we normally designate to going to church, grocery shopping, and hanging out in our favorite town, Santee. The second day we normally stay around camp, Kel does homework, I do crafts, and sometimes we'll walk around grounds and do random things. A couple weeks ago we played disc-golf. Within the first few throws, Kelly lost his frisbee in a tree. He took my frisbee and I got stuck with using a putter the whole game. No worries... it was still fun :)
Last week we went on a hike through the Cleveland National Forest (we live in the National Forest!). We didn't get very far away from camp, or high up the hill/mountain, before I started having an asthma attack. I guess my lungs aren't used to hiking in thin air at such a high elevation. We had to go back home :(
Kel and I are trying to figure out where to put shelves in our kitchen, laundry room and bedroom. We do not have much storage space, so we are trying to make our own. One of my friends gave us a gift-card to Ikea as a wedding gift, which is such a blessing. Kel and I went down to San Diego on Sunday and looked around the store, getting ideas of what might work in our home. We walked out of the store with a better idea of what we would like in our home, and a family membership (that means we are able to get some deals, and a free cup of coffee whenever we go to Ikea).
We have gone to five different churches... none of them were real great. Next sunday... church number six. A couple weeks ago, we stayed home and listened to a Podcast instead of trying another church. That was the best church service we have had since coming to Cali.
I'm getting a bit discouraged by not being able to find a solid church. Please pray for us as we continue to search for a solid church that teaches the deep truth's of God's Word.

Kelly & Haley,
ReplyDeleteYou are doing great ... update #2! Whenever you post them is wonderful. A neat way to "see" what's going on! I still think it's strange you only put your initial on the door, Haley, and not Kelly's. I can totally see Kelly you whipping the frisbee into the tree, Kel. I take full responsibility for not working harder with on your throwing motion! You always did tend to overdo things! Haley, your comment made me laugh and laugh.
You two are great and finding a church will take some time. We spent 11 years out here until we landed at LCBC, not really content at all with what we were experiencing elsewhere. A church that teaches the "deep truths" of God's Word is what I am praying you will find. You discribed that desire well. Don't give up. Something will hopefully show up. While fellowship is important, solid, exegetical Bible teaching far out-weighs that.
We pray always for you ... and by always, I mean always. You two are on our hearts and minds constantly and especially each time we bow our heads or utter a conversation to our Lord. Stand strong. You are doing God's will. There is no better place for you to be.
