Dear friends,

First of all, welcome to our newsletter community (to all of those who’ve signed up in the recent month or so; don’t forget to exempt us from your spam filter!). Renee and I are excited to have so many new people involved and updated in what we’re doing.

Since the last email, we’ve been hard at work trying to expand our support community, and God has been extremely faithful. On both fronts, in Colorado and Pennsylvania, we’ve been presenting what we are involved with through YWAM – Northern Ireland to individuals and families in our communities, and we’ve seen a bunch of people prayerfully join with us in this mission. So far, the Lord has brought us to about 72% of our monthly financial support needs, as well as some one-time gifts, and we continue to trust him to complete our team. We’re excited to be able to have so many different people involved; sharing with people and trading questions and perspectives has been a learning experience for sure and a huge blessing.

And the ducks are coming to order… Soon, the website shall be online – hopefully by the end of the week, so make sure to check that out. It will have a nicer interface, as well as pictures and a streaming video player, at the same location (www.nakedicame.com).

Also, the wedding plans are moving along quite nicely, with some details still to come into order. We will have a small ceremony here at Boulder Valley Christian Church with mostly close relatives and a few friends (about 35 people total, max) and a larger reception out in Pennsylvania about a week later. It’s getting close!

Our schedule is somewhat like this:

• End of Nov.: Renee comes to Colorado for final wedding prep, etc.
• 7 Dec.: Wedding in CO.
• 9-16 Dec.: Honeymoon
• 17 Dec. (might be 18th… I forget): reception in PA
• Christmas in PA, packing, final moving prep.
• 30th of December: fly to Dublin, bus to Northern Ireland

And we’re almost there! Pray that we’re able to maximize our time before the wedding to do everything else that needs to get done without being stressed. Also, I’ll be going to Missouri to see my dad for the first time in a few years for Thanksgiving, which I’m really happy for.

Anyways, thank you all once again for your prayers and support. We love you. Check out the new website when it’s up.

Peace,

Mikael
