Ben's Grandma Koorsen came for a visit.

The girls love their sidewalk chalk! They are
getting pointers from mom.

They really like to play with the leaves. We can't let
Mercedes play in them too long or her eczema will
break out.

This is what happens when Ben does Mercedes' hair.

Ava is a big cheese for the cameras.



We finally were able to get the internet at our house! We are about 100 yards from the closest router at the church. So when we sit at our dinning room table we can get a "very low" signal. The best thing about it is that it's FREE! That's right. Free internet access! It is neat to watch the God of creation take care of simple mundane needs.

We are doing good. We've settled into the house in Indy and have already begun many weekly events. The opportunities to spread the word about tribal missions are many. We will be taking every opportunity as they come.

The ultrasound was today. We are having just ONE baby this time. This was exciting and a relief too. We will be finding out the sex of the baby in about a month.

Eye candy that God made for us to delight in!

We made it to Indianapolis safe and sound. We have not updated recently because we don't have internet at the house. So the local Panera Bread and I (Ben) have become good friends recently. We will be getting internet soon, so don't give up on us. We will be back in the blogging world soon.

Bethany and the girls are doing good. We were able to hear the new baby's heartbeat for the first time today. We are starting to get busy with social gatherings, bible studies, church presentations and opportunities to meet lots of people. We are seeing that our move to the big city could prove to be worth while.

We'll be posting again soon with new pictures and stories of what is happening in our lives.

Moving Moving Moving

Keep those Koorsens moving. Here we go again. We are moving this Sunday to Indianapolis. I'll try and make a very long story short.

We've been in our home town trying to raise support for two years. During this time we've been aware of some obstacles to our support raising efforts. God provided an opportunity for us to move to a house and live for little cost. We'll be able to branch out to more people and churches and share our ministry with them.

Please keep us in your prayers during this transition. Bethany has been battling with her morning sickness and it's been difficult for her. This is a big move for the girls, and they will be leaving their best friends, our neighbors. Ben has been taking on a lot these days with the packing, moving details and picking up what Bethany hasn't been able to do. We covet your prayers.

If you would like our new address feel free to contact us via phone or email and we will get that to you.

Unexpected

This past week we made some T-Shirts for Mercedes & Ava. Click on the pictures to see if you can read what they say.



They wore these shirts at church on Sunday and a few people didn't get the meaning. So for those of you who need a little help: We are expecting a baby! The little one should be arriving in May, and we will keep you updated on Bethany's progress.

All the earth...

A Psalm for giving thanks. Make a joyful noise to the LORD, all the earth! Serve the LORD with gladness!

Come into his presence with singing! Know that the LORD, he is God! It is he who made us, and we are his; we are his people, and the sheep of his pasture.

Enter his gates with thanksgiving, and his courts with praise! Give thanks to him; bless his name!

For the LORD is good; his steadfast love endures forever, and his faithfulness to all generations.
(Psa 100:1-5)
